What's better for early season?

[topeye]

Everyone has thier favorite spread that they run. So if anyone has any imput it would be nice. I will be up out of ollcot beging of May. Would it be better to run flasher/fly off riggers or off my boards. I'm going to run 8 + rods this year instead if my usual 6.

off the riggers and dipsies.   Some run copper off the boards if the traffic allows.  And you could run a flasher and fly that way.

Thanks. Last year orange and green mags off riggers and a dipsey on a 3 setting were big producers for me this time. Not one on a fly

Always start out with one in the riggers, one on a diver and one on a copper.  Let the fish tell you what they want you to run.  If the flashers are quiet, change them up.  I always leave atleast one flasher out.  Most of the time I will leave it in the rigger spread.  I'm a firm believer that a flasher will suck them into your spread.  If they are not hitting it, they are still coming over for a look and then hitting the spoons in your set.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hope to see you all up there for the LOC.
