Bob, or anyone... First, is boondoggle(ing) the correct spelling?- I have fished in this manner only a few times on the Cowlitz R., Wash., & Kenai R., AK. While I do prefer to backtroll or anchor driftfish, I do think it's both relaxing & productive. I have a couple Q's I would apreciate feedback on. 1- Is boondoggleing still common on larger Washington rivers such as the Skagit? (It is not common on larger Oregon rivers such as the Clackamas & I don't know why). 2- From what I've experienced, this method seems to be fairly simple- proper boat postioning during the drift thru & proper bait drifting, similar to driftfishing w/o having to cast much. Q..is there any intricacies to this method that is not obvious to the casual observer that helps productiveness?- Thanks much, Steve
