It works great!! I was first turned on to it in the Toutle River canyon in the middle 70's. The method has worked on every system I have done it on, both in the boat and out! Of course your weight adjustment is cridical and a sliding weight. (there goes another tip) Oh by the way the Toutle had THREE runs of Steehead. Winter,(no the winter nates were not the spring fish)Spring and Summer runs.Each one was a distink run to this system.( the Kalama has the same) I use to float the Toutle Canyon. You knew you would catch fish you just didn't know how many or how big. THE TOUTLE HAD FRESH FISH IN THE SYSTEM 365 DAYS A YEAR!!!!! The Green was another story. The silvers were great biters also. I won't even mention Kid valley. I am sorry for rambling on. To tell you the truth I cried when it went down. I have never been back since.
