my choices are simple for the opener. Since the main lake will be colder I'll be fishing the edges in about 3 feet of water. The edge water is warmer and since it is warmer it has more insect activity and feeding fish.

My choice is a #12 black chronie under a very small stick-on indicator and a 4 wt fly rod.

Last time I did it, I put on a clinic for nearby trollers who cruised on in. It's hard to troll in 3 feet of water with out hanging up because of heavier lures and also scaring the fish. They tend to be spooky in skinny wter.
