Not sure if I just coined a "new" term for presenting spoons by calling it spoondoggin', but basically all I was referring to is presenting spoons with a downstream swing from a moving boat progressing downriver at something less than current speed.

Nothing really new to me, as I've caught plenty of salmon on the lower Kenai swinging spoons and spinners in similar fashion. Done the same downstream swing from a moving boat with fly gear... works great. Really helps to keep your goods in the zone without getting rapidly pushed back to the surface when fishing deep and/or fast current as compared to making the same swing from a stationary position.

Salmon g reinforced the principle in my head when he first mentored me to my first Skagit steel on a Spey rod. He kept pressing me, "Are you camping out?" referring to my tendency to not move down the run fast enough. He showed me how to cast - mend - swing -AND- slowly keep stepping downriver throughout the entire swing. Helped to keep the fly deeper AND cover more water faster.

You know that Sg is pretty flippin' smart!
