I don't know about anybody can catch fish with bait!After a good fifteen years I don't think I ever figured out how to drift fish!Always wondering if it is a fish or the bottom.I went to blue creek about ten years ago, with a couple of acomplished drift fishermen and got schooled.They both caught like ten fish,me ZIP.The more I listen to you guys though, I think that a spey setup is going to be added to the learning curve.I now have to figure out how to justify this to my wife.I am just finishing up with a three week long fishing spree.I have been doing this for quite a few years now,but it isn't going to play in my favor on spending a bunch of money on more fishing.
