Trolling Cannonsville Reservoir

Been doing a little research on how to troll flies for the obscenely large brown trout lurking in the Cannonsville Reservoir. Apprently a craft similar to that shown below is "required" in order to do this correctly. The locals row your standard aluminum rowboat pulling swimbaits on "dipsy-divers." There must be a way to do this with a proper fly...

Today's foray onto the WB, with Doc in the bowseat, yielded absolutely nothing. I had one hit, it didn't feel like a rock, on a Shenk's Minnow. Put in at Stilesville and took out at the new ramp in Deposit. Nice float but not a rising fish, not one!

To take a little of the sting out, I offer the following for your viewing pleasure.
Heard she was last seen on Clarks creek. Get on it Curli!

Diagonally downstream and across the river from the new house.
