Introduction to Controlled Depth Fishing
Undoubtedly there are many fi shermen familiar
with the methods and use of controlled depth fi shing.
During the mid 1960's the state of Michigan introduced
Pacifi c salmon into the Great Lakes in an attempt to
revitalize its sport fi shing industry. From this successful
transplant, new fi shing techniques and equipment were
developed. One such method was controlled depth
fi shing which enabled fi shermen to place a lure at a
desired depth by utilizing downriggers.
Because of the varying factors (water temperature,
thermocline, weather, tides, time of day, or time of year)
it is necessary for successful fi shing to maintain specifi c
water depths that coincide with fi sh movements and
feeding patterns.

One essential feature of the downrigger is the depth
meter or gauge that indicates lure depth. This allows
the angler to control as well as return to specifi c
depths where fi sh have been caught.
Due to the success of controlled depth fi shing,
downriggers are now being used throughout the
world to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh
and salt water. Whether fi shing for blues off Rhode
Island, walleyes in Lake Erie, sailfi sh off the coast of
Florida, or stripers in Tennessee, the use of
downriggers will make your fi shing more successful
and more enjoyable.
