Thanks for all the input. I am sorry to report I nailed zero fish today. Tough going. Was surprised to see the lake was kicking up some pretty good waves out of N - NE, 4+ easy. I was learning the new boat and systems and attempting to execute line management - which again is entirely new to this fly fishermen. So expectations were low. I think next time simply having some of my mates join to man boat while rigging everything out will help a ton.
I was around Kellys. Did a loop on west side mainly due to calmer waters to get stuff situated, then around south and poked around east, but ultimately didn't have time to get to where I wanted further NE. I attempted to attached here what all went out. I tried to follow comments gathered in other posts regarding line distance.
For example, the perfect 10 - I tried 30 feet/1 oz/30 feet and clipped to board and then let out 100 or so feet. I played around with this some. Other times not using weight and letting out more line. These bandits I was in the 100 - 125 feet out range, then attached board. Generally in 25-30' of water, but also never certain if I should have been closer to shore or further out. Do I get Precision Trolling app for these?
Now I fully expect this approach, either choice of lure or distances to generate some questions here...so by all means fire away!
