I like throwing wooly buggers, zonkers, and egg-sucking leeches in the spring. As far as crankbaits go, I like using jointed rapalas that are suspending--they run 3-5 feet underwater. Generally, in the spring time, the trout are in their pre spawn or spawn mode and are congregated in shallow water along gravel points or shorelines. I would concentrate on these areas. The SMB will be looking to move up into warmer water and also in pre-spawn mode. The wipers will probably be hardest to catch...I haven't had any luck on wipers until the water warms up into the upper 50s and lower 60s. But, you never know...
