Ice-Out Fishing

[Speedy]

Suffering from a little Cabin fever and looking forward to opening of Trout season here in Vermont, April 15th.  Anyway looking for a few tips on that first day in the boat when most of the ice has melted away from the shore line. Salmon, Rainbows and Lakers are the targets. Do the larger fish come in towards the shallows for first Spring feeding? Troll along the edges or anchor near area and jig. I'm in smaller Vermont in-land lakes like Willoughby, Memphremagog and Crystal to start. Suggest any special Spring lures, baits, techniques? Use the down-riggers or something smaller like a 3 way swivel with weight down and lure/bait out straight.  Thanks. Nothing like Arizona, so time for this old dog to learn a few new tricks. LOL
