Fished Lienweber on March 24th, but could not find the big ones and no real pattern presented itself.

Ended up with 5 over the limit and no culls. I did lose two. 

Two caught on a square billed crank in the timbers

Two on a large chrome rattle trap on the bank opposite the dam

One on a buzz bait along the dam

Conditions 

Cloudy until noon and sunny the rest of the afternoon (I left about 2)

Water temp 66-70 degrees 

Clarity less than a foot

Wind - nice slow breeze 

I was able to easily launch my kayak in the area after crossing the dam. 

No weeds so what had been successful patterns in the past did not work any more. 

I unsuccessfully tried

senko 

Frog 

Paddle tail 

Fluke

Deep diving crank

Shallow diving crank

Chatter bait
