Downriggers and fly gear?
#6
This is how I fish for trout on Lake Erie. Use Flyrod w/ extended butt, 12-14# mono. replaces flyline, small dodger (4") Grizzly or Lure Jensen and tube streamer fly w/ big hook (3/0), or # 44 thin Sutton flutterspoon. Lower on downrigger to desired depth (generally no more than 35 ft.). Lock mono. w/ Du-bro drop-back release, so reel will not free-spool...And troll slowly such that dodger swings lure back & forth without spinning. Most trout cannot resist this combination.
