In many lakes and ponds, 45 to 65 feet is about the right depth to start looking for togue. The depths where togue hang out varies from one lake to another, but they will always be where there is food, namely smelts. Togue prefer water temperatures between 42 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit, so you need to be searching in deep water. The chart will direct me to those potential fishing spots, and the fish finder will tell me if anyone is home. During the summer I primarily search for togue near dropoffs, underwater reefs and humps. How do you find the togue? The easiest way is to use a fish finder in conjunction with a depth chart. I’ll add that it’s a location worth trying. I have fished only one lake in Maine by jigging and that was Branch Lake in Ellsworth. In Vermont I have been successful on Caspian Lake, Willoughby Lake and Lake Champlain, among others. The tri-state area of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine is loaded with togue-laden waters where spincasting can be used.
