Boating noob question

[SkunkedAgain]

I am out of Roy. I usually fish within an hour ish. My trout waters are mainly Echo, East Canyon, Lost creek. But I will fish anywhere if I get the urge.

Using weights on your line a head of the lure for summer trout works, but takes fun out of it.
A super versatile method that does not get used much in Utah is leaded line, medium weight pole with moderate action, but throw the pop gear in the trash if you want to enjoy the fight.
Use the leaded line with Jakes, Triple Teasers, Rapalas, dodgers/squids, etc and have fun.
Dang it, I should have kept my mouth shut about this method….

Not sure if the leaded line is that unpopular, I've used it for decades, but it takes a lot of the fun out of the fight as well.... But it is a great option for catching.... I really like the down riggers for the warmer season, I can use my light tackle and really have fun when I get one on, but you probably won't set one of those up on a duck boat...  Lance good luck and I hope you have fun doing a little trolling, it has always been one of the favorite ways I like to fish...
