Main line tied to the front end, of a flasher set (like Doc Shelton, Ford Fender, etc). Then a worm trailing behind, with 3-4' of leader from the flasher set. Roughly 100', behind your boat. But don't use anything heavy, as Siltcoos is very shallow.
SRC's = Sea Run Cutties.

plumbertom;n608431 said:Okay. I spent a very nice day today trolling around Siltcoos lake. The sun came out early and although I suppose it was cool out I'was layered up so I was nice and warm.
Mainly I trolled a Thomas Buoyant spoon that has served me well in the past, and my fishing partner trolled a yellow Roostertail spinner.
I never got a strike at all and my partner caught one trout and missed a couple of others.
