Thanks , First Cast! Good info from the Web Site.

I started fishing floats on the Vedder River in B.C. a few years ago. Up there, that's the way they fish almost exclusively. I must say , with great success. The canadians use knuckle busters with long rods with their floats.

Being taught using basic drift techniques, I felt was limiting me, so I really want to start using jigs and spinners. I think that will be really effective for summer fish.

The first 2 weeks of June on the Skykomish are generally very good. Especially on the upper river.
I live along a stretch of that part of the Sky. I'm going to use some of the techniques that I've learned from the replies that I've got here Hopefully I'll be somewhat succesfull.
