I live in Utah, the lakes are still frozen, andI wont be able to get my boat out till about end of april when all the snow melts in the mountains where my boat is. So right now its shore fishing till then, unless one of my friends uses his boat. I am not new to fishing asI must have potrayed, I love to go trolling, and fly fishing. Which brings me to another question I've seen bass flies in Cabelas catalog (Cabelas is ten minutes from my house) do they work at all. I have no idea how to work a crank bait or how to tell it apart from a deep crank. I need to know the difference betweenpoppers, crankbaits, and all the other types of baits. And I need to know how to work them and when to use them. I am grateful for all the help so far espcially from chuck7. thnx guys.
