Lake Trout Fishing

Would a medium action 7 feet fishing pole be a good idea for fishing in a small lake with mostly trout? ?
I fishing in a small park near me which has a small lake. I don’t know whether to buy a 7 feet medium action pole that is said to be good for surf fish and stripers or to get a smaller pole.
Seven feet is the perfect length to get some distance on a small lake. If it were a bigger area, you’d want one a little longer in order to get a lot of distance on your cast. As far as being able to feel the fish and get a good fight, you don’t need a short pole as someone else suggested, it’s all in the action and quality of the pole. Unless you are going for panfish, which trout is not, then you definitely want something in the medium-light, medium, or medium-heavy action range.
My husband has a 7′ medium action graphite pole by Abu Garcia on his spinning reel, and has it spooled up with 8lb. line. It is a great pole with lots of strength, but also lots of sensitivity. He can feel the small fish bite, but when a lunker grabs the line, it’s strong enough to hold it without breaking. I use a 6’6″ medium-heavy action graphite pole by Abu Garcia on my baitcaster, and I love it too, it also offers a lot of strength without sacrificing sensitivity. I have it loaded with 20lb braid, but have found that is too heavy and will probably downgrade to 15lb soon. As you can tell we love the Abu Garcia poles, they aren’t too expensive, but are AWESOME rods.
I say 7′ medium would be perfect for what you are looking for, medium-light might would even work.
I hope this helps. Tight lines!!
