Congrats!

Fish with minnows or worms within a foot of the bottom in your deepest water (if you have decent DO down there) and you should find them. They're actually a very reliable species to find and catch. Minnows work the best.

I prefer to use a slip bobber rig for depth control and to keep them from swallowing the bait. Keep sliding your stopper line up the line towards you until the the float sits on its side due to the bsit lying on the bottom. Then pull the stopper line away from you six or twelve inches and you're set to go.

I located a spot with exceptionally cool water this summer. While water temps never got exceptionally warm, I had 47�f so I am guessing this is a spring area. This coincides with a slushy star in the late season ice.
