There are few different options for trolling flies. Here's what has worked really well for me at the berry. I typically use a mohair leech in brown black or olive. Showgirls and muddler minnows work well too. First technique is if you have a fly pole I'd run a #2 sinking line and let it sink about 10 feet down. While you are trolling grab the line and give it a few quick twitches here and there to give the fly a sudden darting action. The second technique is to tie a fly about 8-9 inches behind a dodger. Yes the same dodgers we use for kokanee fishing to jerk around the squid. The dodger gives the fly a great action and will improve your catch rate. I like to run a 1/2oz bullet weight about 2-3 feet ahead of the fly just to get it down into the water. Technique number three is to put on a wigglefin action disc in front of the fly and use about 2-3 feet of leader between the fly and the swivel. I use the bullet weight for this setup as well. The wigglefin discs give the fly a very erratic action and helps entice the fish to bite. Just a few different techniques for you to try that have worked well for me over the years. Best of luck!
