[cool][#0000ff]Hey TG, I think that is what Nate was referring to in his first post...dropshotting flies. I turned him on to that a couple of years ago. I have drop shotted flies in both Willard and Utah Lake, going back into the mid 70's. It can be deadly for all species. I got lots of walleyes, crappies and even channel cats on that rig in Willard.

[#0000ff]I fished the drop shot with tandem flies a lot around Lincoln Beach, too, but mostly out on the less rocky flats. You are right. It can be murder if you fish close to the rocks. The thing I did to minimize loss was to just pinch a split shot on the end of the line. If I got hung in the rocks, a steady pull would slip the split shot off the end of the line and I would still have my flies.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here's a pic of a few whites and a nice walleye I caught on the same flies one evening just before dark at Lincoln beach.[/#0000ff]
