I was out west yesterday & was float fishing a tailout for about 30-45 minutes w/ no hits; water was just slower than brisk walk speed & had good color, jigs were white/pink, pink, black/pink & the pink worm, also tried a silver spoon. Another fisherman arrived & asked how the fishing was & we struck up a nice conversation. After I moved slightly upstream he settled in w/ drift gear using roe & a red corkie & within 30 minutes had one fish on the bank & long distance released a couple of others. I've been float fishing on the same river, in the same holes, on other days & caught fish right along with the drift fishermen, what do you suppose the difference was this time, could it have been the roe? I'm not buying luck.
