up here in B.C. (not blue creek) I fish mostly rivers with a bait ban and the number one item to use float fishing is a Gooey Bob, then followed by a pink worm. The best color was called "BC Orange" but Luhr Jensen only made the true right color for a couple of years. Then they have followed with a color close but not "just right". Try them with a bit of white or chartruese yarn hanging over them. They also work great in fast moving "pocket" water. The best size overall is #3 (middle size) but have also done well on the larger "magnum" bobs.
