Advice on float tubing at Jordanelle

[Jeslurking]

I'm pretty new to the area and took my float tube this morning to the Ross Creek area of Jordanelle, which is very close to my home.  Tried stripping a clouser with no luck.  Switched to slowly retrieving an olive woolly bugger and managed to pick up a small smallmouth and some tiny perch.  I got a little fed up with the wakes being thrown by the powerboats, so I called it quits after a couple of hours. 

I'm not used to float tubing on larger lakes like this -- is Ross Creek not a productive area, and should I go down to Rock Cliff instead?  And any suggestions on flies if I want to target the smallmouth?  I assumed a white streamer or woolly buggers would be sufficient, but they didn't do much for me today. 

Thanks!

I haven't fished up there for awhile but I had decent fishing in the Rock Cliff arm of the reservoir.  One good thing about fishing Rock Cliff, a fairly large area is wakeless so you don't have to worry about getting run over.

I used crystal buggers in sizes 6-8 in green/pearl, black/copper, brown/orange/pearl and leeches in olive, Canada Blood (claret), and brown.  Sometimes just trolling in my tube, with an occasional twitch would work.  Other times I would cast out, paddle long enough to get the fly down, and strip it back in, varying the retrieve until I found what got their attention.  The Provo River comes in there and the water temperatures should be a little cooler.  I fished with slow to medium sinking lines along the west side of the bay along the old river channel.  You have a chance for some browns along with the other species that are in there now.

Good Luck
