Anyone else fish lakes a lot from a boat? I was recently guided by Red Childress for Musky on the Allegheny river and was picking his brain about fishing lakes and he said one thing he sees with fly fisherman is they always have to be casting to the shore at some type of structure, which he explained is a good place to start but if the bites aren't coming its probably because the fish aren't there. More recently I've been starting at the structure at the shore line and working my way out, but there is something frustrating in casting into open water not really knowing or having any inclination if there fish there or not. I think its more of a mental thing than anything. I should prob invest in a depth finder but just wandering what anyone else does? Oh and the musky trip 8 hrs of casting, one follow around 330 pm. That's musky fishing though I guess.
