I am fishing from a kayak, kokanee rod with a penn 109 reel, then I have a 50ft of 12lb mono followed by 8 colors of lead followed by 20ft of 20lb mono. I am used a wedding ring or needle fish (clown color or rainbow / tiger pattern) tipped with a bit of worm. I let out the 50ft and then 3 colors (15ft deep) and troll at 1.5mph from the boat launch to the weather station, around the weather station and back. I usually pick up 1-3 trout between 12-3. I usually pick up the most trout when i zig zack in and out of the shore line, like a little fish swimming into deeper waters where he is not supposed to be.
