Use a Kastmaster or small Swedish pimple. Cast it out, let it sit, then give it a good pull. it will shoot up, then "flutter" down. The bobber will sit upright once the Kastmaster stops falling. Let it sit a couple of minute and do it again.
They will often hit it on the drop, and if the slip bobber goes under suddenly just set the hook and let the fun begin.

"Used to" might be the main operative at Wabamun now. Was out last Saturday and told buddy about the good old days for whitefish at the trestle area, using a floating line and wire worm (sometimes "sweetened" with a white maggot). And how the banks would be lined with shore fishermen and the boats would be packed in like D-Day. And one day where I covered rings and swirls and hit fish every cast. That was back in the late 90's in October,
Not on Saturday. Three on the shore (the only ones there) said a few big whitefish had been caught but we saw only one swirl and hit nada.
Eventually found a nice area across the lake for walleye and small pike on red/white streamers.
But where are the whitefish???
