Unfortunately, since the latest round of low water/rotenone treatment I haven't gotten to Minersville in a while, but I am sure a few things still hold true. My favorite way to fish there in the early spring has been out of a float tube tossing sinking line toward shore. By the far the most productive fly for me has been a modified olive wooly bugger. (if anyone wants a little more infor on this one send me a PM and I can tell you what it looks like and/or how to tie it) I usually follow this one with a pattern known as the "rockchuck". I know you can get some at Hurst sports in St. George for a pattern and then possibly tie your own. Later in the year I have done fairly well trolling #5 floating rapalas in either fire tiger or rainbow along the shroeline. All this is making me eager to get down there! Hopefully by the end of next week! Good luck!
