Interesting dilema Snag. When I used to do more steelhead flyfishing I had usually waded deep enough that it was worth leaving the fly hang &/or twitch for a bit & would hook up sometimes. Same for driftfishing conventional gear driftboat anchored in a little deeper water than if bankfishing. But for bankfishing conventional drift gear when the water gets fairly shallow below me I definitely prefer the 15 to 30% more time in the barrel. ----- Snagly, I just reread your topic heading question and it rings a bell somewhere..... ah ...... hmmm .......oh ya, get the same Q from my wife on those rare "tired" nights. And back in the old college overdrinking days...... nevermind. - Steve
