drifting is the only way to go. float fishing is the cheaters way.

everybody knows the "bite is the drug" . float fishing is for retards.

a guy loses more gear on the bottom. a guy also learns more on the bottom.

there is no amount of free gimmes' on the internet..... NONE!

time on the water and learning the rules is the way to get fish. get on the water and just do it.

bobbers have their options, yes. bobbers are simply strike indicators. whether you pay $5.00 or $1.50 for the bobbers it simply does a simple chore.... relay the bite. yet you learn nothing as to the mystical bite. you can catch 500 steelhead and still be a retard.

the bite detection is the drug, everyone wants. no one has ever claimed how great the bite was from a bobber..... NEVER. imagine catching a 21# steelhead and not recalling the sensation of the bite. makes you think huh?

the spoon guys talk about the smashing bites come from a spoon. this is very true. getting rid of float makes a guy a better steelheader.

use the bobbers when the bottom is grabby.... after that get on bottom and feel the take... it's the very best and very personable.
