In British Columbia there is a floss fishery on Fraser River Sockeye. Guys fish 7-10 foot leaders and hook fish in the mouth mostly. Most guys like to think that the fish are takin the offering but the problem with that theory is that the Fraser runs dirty with visibility at 3-6 inchers. The fish don't even see your wool/corkie. The long leader sweeps the gravel, and cover more water than a short leader, resulting in more hookups. Any guy fishing a corky alone should know that during his drift the chance of the corky sliding up the hook is great...the corky is rarely on the hook. To floss steelhead is a joke...steelhead are an aggressive fish, where as sockeye are with a few exceptions non biters. I've read about this Blue creek in STS and it sounds like a pathetic excuse for a fishery.

Long live the foam float.
