Spring Trolling On Rangely

I have been making an annual one week trip to Rangely for the past three years. This year will be starting May 16th and fish for a week. I typically troll tandem streamers on a six weight floating line, with about 8ft of 8lb. test mono. and no split shot or weight. I have had mixed success. I was wondering if I have the correct setup for trolling streamers on a fly rod this time of year, or if there is a better way. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: Spring Trolling On Rangely

If your not having luck with that set up try going to a full sinking line or a sinking tip. You may need to go a little deeper than you are, especially mid-day. Also, try using size 2 or 4 streamers non tandem. They are big enough and are better for the fish and may not twist your line so much if you have that problem.
