How would you fish this?

Featured Replies

Small, narrow, spring fed lake in northern Ontario.  Surface temperature around 76.  Water is relatively clear, easy visibility to 10 ft.

Water level is now constant due to constructed outflow.  Both ends of lake are shallow flats 0.5-2 ft of water with stumps. Many, many blow downs line sides.  Water there drops off from 4 ft at bank to 20-25ft quickly.  Max depth unknown but probably around 40ft.

Bottom is silty with occasional large granite boulders and sparse weedbeds, mostly milfoil.  As well as aforementioned blowdowns.

Species in the lake: Smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, speckled trout and perch.

Can't go wrong with the drop shot this time of year.  If that doesnt work for some reason try a grub or tube.  

I would fish the drop offs with a T-Rigged Tube bait. If not windy I would use a 3/16-1/4 weight. Also might try a Wacky Rigged 4 inch Senko around the sparse weeds. Would only go after the Smallies.

I love the wacky rig weightless Senko. SLOW>>>twitchted around the cover.

Anything might work, but I would focus on soft plastics and jigs.
