If I was going to jig for lake trout at Yellowstone lake I would use 1 oz silver spoons but any of the standard lake trout methods should work at Yellowstone Lake. Just be careful about the regulations. I haven't seen this years fishing regs for Yellowstone Park so some of the things that I mention below may have changed. If you have lures with multiple trebble hooks don't forget to take the extra trebble hooks off. Also don't forget to buy your boat permit and have your life jackets because they will check you for everything. I have also heard that lead downrigger balls and lead core line may be illigeal in the park in the near future.
The only lake trout that I have caught or anyone else that I was fish with caught were when we were fishing for cutthroat. We haven't caught any lake trout over 22" out of Yellowstone lake but I know of a few larger ones that have been caught.
