Introduction to Controlled Depth Fishing
Undoubtedly there are many fishermen familiar
with the methods and use of controlled depth fishing.
During the mid 1960's the state of Michigan intro-
duced Pacific salmon into the Great Lakes in an at-
tempt to revitalize its sport fishing industry. From this
successful transplant, new fishing techniques and
equipment were developed. One such method was
controlled depth fishing which enabled fishermen to
place a lure at a desired depth by utilizing downrig-
gers.

Because of the varying factors (water tempera-
ture, thermocline, weather, tides, time of day, or time
of year) it is necessary for successful fishing to main-
tain specific water depths that coincide with fish
movements and feeding patterns.

One essential feature of the downrigger is the depth

Due to the success of controlled depth fishing,
downriggers are now being used throughout the
world to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh
and salt water. Whether fishing for blues off Rhode
Island, walleyes in Lake Erie, sailfish off the coast of
Florida, or stripers in Tennessee, the use of down-
riggers will make your fishing more successful and
more enjoyable.
