I have a lake close to me. Somewhat. Anyways, it produces nice pipe, bass, perch etc etc.

I usually worm dunked it in the past with minnow or worms. Or both! But since FF it, I can't catch a thing. I go out in the canoe and it's somewhat deep. The water is always muddy, usually stil depending on wind. And deepish.

I've been out in the canoe 5-6 times, I'm going again tomorrow and would like to hook a fish A lot of gas wasted sofar for nothin!!!! I need to hook something here. I don't want to go back to worm dunkin this lake

Any help is appreciated. Technique, patterns etc

I've fished it with surface flies, fished wooly buggers 1-6' down.

Should I put on a longer tippet and split shot and sink the fly further down?

Thanks a lot,
Shane
