Those fish can cover 20 miles in a day. If you're investogating new spots worry about covering water more than picking apart holes- once you know the juicy spots you can go back and fish every square inch. I usually target them woth flies. I swing flies on a downsized skagit setup 85%+ of the time, then i have a 10 foot 8 weight with a bobber for picking apart juicy stuff. The spin equivalent would be walking and throwing spinners and picking apart juicy stuff with a bobber and jig or eggs.
If a particular rock looks goood to me ill drift my bobber past it ~4-8 (half on the near side half on the far side) times before i decide either no ones home or they're at least not going to answer the door and move on. There are guys who will camp a juicy hole from 3am and spend all day there drifting bobbers because they have to floss 20 fish fir social media or their dick will shrivel up and their wife will leave them, and theyre not worth dealing with, i think its more fun to go find an active fish and get smacked, even if that means i have a 1 or 2 fish day.
