While fishing the Wallace River yesterday, I noticed that many areas were more conducive to floatfishing rather than driftfishing. While I have successfully used floats with jigs/pink worms/bait on many of Washington's larger rivers; I have yet to try them on some of the smaller rivers and creeks, such as the Wallace, Raging, Stevens Creek, etc.

I was wondering how some of you more experienced floatfishers prepare for smaller rivers and creeks? What strategies have been successful in the past?
