You will have some days when trolling is the key and some days when you can really wake the fish up by trolling backwards for a minute or two and then strip the fly in. Not sure why but that is my go to method when it's slow.
The faster sink lines serve two purposes for those that fish like us. They will sink faster when you're fishing to deeper fish and you want to count down your fly. However the better function is just running deeper while/when trolling.
On a slow day at the berry try a faster sinking line over deeper water. Troll for a couple of minutes then pick one of these metods: Stop moving and strip in the fly of keep trolling and strip in the fly. Use short 9" pulls one time and long 2' to 4' pulls another time.
Maybe after it thaws we can meet up and fish the berry.
