    It has been my experience in clear water, the furthurest you can get you presentation away from you, the better. I don't know if "furturest" is a word or not. But, you know what I mean. Use a slip cork rig. Or, troll out behind. Getting the depth right is a little more difficult for me when trolling.

    Good things come to those who bait.

    I like to fish clear water when there is a lite wind, keeping a ripple on the water, cast as far as you can from the boat, use the smallest line that you can get by with, and preferably cloudy day.
