Mkorb,

If you're going to troll, I think motor trolling is the least effective because it gives the fly the least action, aside from the steady pull. Trolling by use of oars, and holding the fly line in your hand so that the fly jerks and halts with each stroke has been more productive for me.

I wouldn't troll chironomids or other small midges or mayflies; they don't swim that fast. Anchor or drift with a chronie suspended under your line - better with an indicator so you can see when it goes under. Trout take 'em and spit 'em lightning fast.

A lot of lakes have active damselflies right now. They are usually active from late morning through mid-afternoon. They swim with a wiggly motion near the surface. Fish fairly close to shorelines, using 4-6" strips.

Good luck.
