I've always been a slinky man myself, switching between stationary and sliding. I found something new this month that I'm going to try. I went down and fished the upper rogue river in southern Oregon on the 1st of this month with a guide and we used bouncing bettys for most of the day. The water was low and clear but the fish didn't seem to mind as we landed 22 adults over 20".
We were using 30" leaders and they didn't mind that big rubber ball bouncing their way. In fact, we had 5 doubles, 4 of which we landed both fish. It looks like low/clear might be what we have to deal with this year so I'm gonna give it a try.
