For years I have been pulling Lyman Plugs behind my boat.� Whether it’s on my home waters of Kootenay Lake, or on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, they always seem to produce good fish for me. We run the 4” plugs most often, because they can imitate just about any bait fish. I also have a large assortment of� 5” and even some 6 “ models when targeting the big ones. Our largest fish taken on a Lyman in Kootenay Lake so far is just over 23 Lbs, and the biggest Salmon we’ve taken off the West Coast on a Lyman is just over 40 Lbs. So, no matter where you fish or what you’re fishing for, I would highly recommend the Lyman plugs.Thanks Lyman for providing such a great product. Look forward to many years of great fishing.
Hello Lyman Staff I had to send you this picture. I went to Pyramid on Thursday and caught the fish of a lifetime. I want to thank Brad Stout again for turning me onto the Lyman's. What a great lure. I have spent countless hours fishing Pyramid and never caught one like this. This was my first trip with the Lyman's and the results were unbelievable . I will be telling all my fishing buddies they need this lure in if they want to catch fish.
Best Regards, Pat McGruder

Here at Mo Fisch Charters I have used Lyman Lures with great success for the past eight years. I use the 4" wooden plugs for hybrid rainbow trout. I troll Lake Koocanusa on the surface for winter rainbows. By biggest rainbow to date is a 19.5lb beauty. That big fish was caught on a silver/black Lyman. Many bull trout have also fallen to the aggressive action of Lyman Lures. I also use Lyman's for lake trout on Flathead Lake here in N.W. Montana. Many 20lb plus lakers have fallen to a Lyman plug trolled in 200ft of water with downriggers. I always recommend Lyman Lures at all my seminars as well on my blogs.

Lyman lures are the greatest. i have fished three different times with them and we have caught bigger macs each time we fished. the lures you made me special are working great as well as all the others depending on light conditions. We have caught macs already that are 17 lbs, 18, 20 ,2-21,24, 28, 31, and 38lbs in just three trips thanks i will use and recommend your product to anyone who wants to catch big Lake Trout. Thanks again Brian Lee West Point Utah.
My Success with Lyman Lures By freelance outdoor writer – David C. Kimble In the early eighties I went on a staff fishing trip to Bonaparte Lake north of Kamloops. While I struggled to catch a few two-pound rainbows on my flies I watched another staff member catching much bigger fish while trolling. The next day I too trolled as he did, with a three-inch perch-scale Lyman plug and we both took numerous four-to-eight pound rainbows. Lyman plugs have had prominent spots in my tackle boxes ever since. Most of them are four-inch models on which I’ve managed to catch Rainbow Trout over 16-pounds as well as numerous large lake trout, bull trout, kokanee (over six-pounds) as well as burbot and walleye. During spring and summer I often have great success using the 9-inch Lyman Plugs for bull trout in lakes such as Kinbasket and North Arrow. When I got my first salt water assignment to an un-guided lodge in Knight Inlet I didn’t know anything about cutting and trolling with herring so, out went my all-white Lyman plug which I dropped to 80-feet with a downrigger. I was the only one to catch my limit out of 24 guests and all of my salmon had hit that white Lyman plug. Since then I’ve taken salmon up to 37-pounds using Lyman plugs and I’ve won more than $3000.00 in various trout derbies with fish taken on my good old standby Lyman plugs. On big British Columbia lakes it has been and it will remain my go-to lure whenever I’m after truly big fish
“Lyman Lures are a mainstay in the tackle boxes of Anglers that fish the Great Ontario Salmon Derby. When the fishing gets tough you can always count on a Lyman to bring in that Trophy fish”
Walter Oster Chairman / Tournament Director Great Ontario Salmon Derby
On October 4th of 2009, Living Positive Resource Centre held a charity fishing derby to raise funds to support individuals living with HIV, AIDS, and hepatitis C in the Okanagan Valley. The planning process was stressful: after soliciting as many prize donations from local businesses that we could and sending the logo-filled posters to the printer, I had a sinking feeling that our prizes would not be enough. Then I received an email from Colin Redisky at Lyman Lures, wanting to donate.
Even though they were aware that it was too late for the Lyman Lures logo to show up on any of our promotional material, they still proceeded to make the largest donation in monetary value of any of our sponsoring businesses - and using his personal contacts, Colin Redisky, Lyman Lures President, even took it upon himself to ensure the fishing derby was receiving widespread media attention.
The generosity showed to us by Lyman Lures far surpassed any of our expectations. Thanks to them, each of the anglers who participated in the derby had something to bring home – even if it wasn’t a fish.
The staff at Living Positive Resource Centre, including myself, are extremely grateful to Colin and the team at Lyman Lures for their amazing show of support, and wish them much success with their business so that they may continue to make such a positive impact on the community.
