When they are in the shallow bays, a week or two after ice out you can pretty much flat line troll and get them on any of the above. Once they move out however, you need electronics to have decent success if there isn’t surface action.
Most people use deep sinking fly lines and flies or hardware as a sort of mountain downrigger, to troll at certain depths as needed. That’s the only game in town for those suspended fish. I tried depth specific cranks and got blanked.
