[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Since you like to troll why don't you put some weights on a 3-way swivel and tie on a 12-36 inch leader. Then on the end of that, put on a kwikfish in different sizes/colors to see what they like. If they don't want kwikfish put on crippled herring. Go out to points or bays or where the underwater contour changes and bounce that weight along the bottom if that is where the fishfinder is showing them. [/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000][/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]This way, you can troll water less than or more than 20 feet very easily. And if you snag, most of the time all you lose is your weight. If they don't want big baits, use some real light line and tie on a second leader to the kwikfish or crippled herring and put on some fly on the end of that. I have caught many rainbows this way, as well as trolling tubes with a small fly behind them.[/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]The points by Renegade and along the walls in the narrow spots and sloping bays are good places. There are 'bows all around though. But some spots are better than others.[/font]
