Willard Wipers again

I think one of the things that happens to trollers (it has happened to me before, too, as I troll for Kokanee) is that they fall into the trap of doing what worked yesterday - or perhaps one day last spring when fish were suicidal. They troll the same speed and depth with the same lures/baits and when the fish aren't there where they were before they conclude that they just "aren't biting." Fish have to eat to live. When their metabolism is cranked up during the summer months, they eat quite regularly unless unstable weather patterns start messing with their swim bladders and put them off for a bit. Often smaller baits, slower natural movements, more subtle colors - as you have said, finesse - is what will work. The tube is perfect for that because you can hold yourself in a static position long enough for the method to work.
