:p Howdy,
I havent been float fishing for that long, maybe five years or so. But me and my friends have had several experiences with salmon and steelhead rising to the float (bobber) with repeated enthusiasm. In order to catch these fish, we will set the jig/bait 2 inch under the float. My friend Bryan has tied of series of deerhair flies replicating the several types of floats we use. However, we still haven't had the opportunity to use these flies on a willing fish. And thats all I have to say about that.
