Trolling weights

[maghunter]

My dad and I spent last summer and spring learning how to troll. Last spring we fished Ririe a number of times for Kokanee, if we got there before the sun came over the rock wall we didn't need any thing on our rigs, the fish seemed to be right near the top. After the sun came out we would put some lead on. I don't have any idea how deep we were going but we caught some fish. Then we discovered jet divers, they work really good although when you do catch a fish its hard to enjoy the fight, same way with putting a bunch of lead on your line. Then we upgraded to a Mini troll downrigger ($60) this works really good once you get the releases figured out. If you have a little cash I would highly recommend with getting a cheap downrigger and save yourself a lot of guess work. We also got a Humingbird portable fish finder ($110) worth every penny, and we used it ice fishing with great results. The best discovery I made about trolling last year is the new trolling Rapalas. They come in different depths and they work great for trout, you can really feel the fish bite and fight with those. Good luck. By the way what lake are you going to try?
