The techniques on these lakes is pretty similar. Troll at about 2.5-3.0 knots while using a side planner system with the afore mentioned bucktail patterns.. Most people make the mistake of not trolling fast enough and not using the side planners.
During the cool months, these fish are literally right on the surface and will move off to the sides as a boat approaches. If a person doesn't use a side planner then this significantly reduce the amount of fish they present the fly to. Downriggers are usually reserved for the Summer months when the fish hold in the thermal cline layer(s). Mike
