Im not a real fly fisherman, or not yet anyways. I only use a floater as thats all I have and I either use split shot and sort off drift fish with the fly rod or when its not legal to do that I nymph with an indicator wich is closer to real fly fishing than the prior.

In another way when it comes down to it I whant to catch fish when I fish and the split shot tech is dam affective. Even better than gear in some cases. With the split shot your always in the zone and it the water is to big to get into the zone I dont whant to be fly fishing anyways.
