You could have done just as well with the fly rod, if you would have had the correct line. Your intermediate line will only fish effectively to about 15'.
You said the fish were at 30'.
You needed a type 5 or 6 line to get down to the fish.
I had this happen to me at LC a few years ago. I was catching a few smaller Bows and watched a boat go by me and my toon several times, with a fish on.
I asked them at what depth they were fishing and they said 25'.
I was using a type 2 full sink line. I went to shore and got my type 5 line. From then on, it was fish on.
Moral is have a couple of options on sinking line with you. It may be the difference3 between a lot of fish and a few fish.
