Troll!

Lovely float-n-fly in the winter - 20 - 40 fish on good days - up to 31/2 lbs or so - good ned-rig lake.

Lots of techniques for this water but myself I'd be throwing topwaters fewer bites - bigger fish.

Launch ramp area first - then points and nooks - sloping gravel banks - any vegetation.

If you are looking for a sensitivity upgrade get a recoil tip guide. Expensive ($12.-$13) but are used by many pros for dropshotting and other techniques where sensitvity is needed. Particularly on spinning rods. Mudhole has them

Guided for several years I never expected or wanted tips. I was doing a job and was paid what I charged.

My friend the late great Chuck Woods - invented the beetle - beetle spin - puddle jumper - etc. Mentored many who went on to become successful in the industry - father of what is now called midwest finesse which has been refined by Ned Kehde into a very popular method.

top water of course and then the easiest way I know to find fish in this situation is to troll/stroll a small hair jig or ned rig behind the boat. Change directions and depth often - it can be slow but it is deadly. Cast as far as you can - let it sink and away you go.

I laugh pure joy.

Just go fishing - things will work out - you'll catch fish.

Beetle spin, plain beetle, zman nedrig stuff. Will catch lots of bass and everything else and you will catch some big bass.

We called it nook and cranny fishing.
