I don't even like using floats for "actual fishing"...why the hell would I want to use one while "flyfishing"?

Fish on...

Todd,

Some of the best steelhead fly fishermen I've known were excellent drift fishermen, except for Jerry Wintle, who, being a Canuck, was an excellent float fisherman and single-handedly coulda' wiped out the Capilano summer steelhead run, but switched to fly fishing thinking that might save the run. Then BC Hydro built a dam and killed 'em off. The upshot is that I won't be bummed if and when you show us how it's done. Nor will I be surprised when you tie a noose around your neck trying to cast that rig.

Fish on...
