you run a long leader so when you break off you still got enough for another round!!!!! I have been fishing dick nites for a VERY long time and I will admit I have ended up flossed a few but its pretty rare!!!
If the inside corner of the mouth counts as a floss, I should play basketball

Parker. yes it is your style to have fun on other peoples expense(s) hence the "boat whore". and yes there are plenty of coho out there but, you wont get any unless someone takes you huh? Wow. Someone feels unloved. I'll state the obvious - Parker gets those rides 'cause he makes it worthwhile for everyone involved. Just a guess.

Expert ?........lol... I didn't hear anyone claim to be an expert....lol.. But I would say they know how to catch fish on a Dick Nite and they were just giving advice because the Thread topic said( "proper" way to fish dick nites for silvers? ) note the question mark at the end of the head line...........

Ok, I'll claim to be an expert, except, I am, no claim. Not to many on this board were even alive when Dick Nite fishing in the river was perfected. When I first began fishing them we had to dig the ore, smelt it, forge it, hammer it and then find berries to make paint from. It often took three or four day to make just one. We fished them on 50 pound test leaders to be sure we never lost one. No one flossed back then, but many had missing teeth and very bad breath.

I have never fished a dick nite for salmon, but it would seem that fishing it under a float would help eliminate the likelyhood of flossing a fish. That being said how do you fish a dick nite under a float? What sort of weight set up do you use? Slow retrieve? Let it drift? Thanks in advance for any insights you can give me on this technique. i'll usually set it up with a couple split shot to sink it quicker, but not hamper the action. and to answer bigchump's question, it depends on intent. i'm sure i've flossed fish over the years incidentally, but i have never once done it intentionally. it is sort of a gray area, but when i see a guy with a 6' leader and a corky or DN jerking at the end of every drift, there's about a 102% chance of them being a snagger, which seems to be about 7 out of 10 guys on any given river in recent years. "trying" to floss a fish = snagging by the very definition in the rulebook, which = ILLEGAL and un-sporting. end of story. The only fish I saw landed yesterday were on long leaders with corkies and big yanks. Fishing Dick Nites correctly we only had one tug all day and it didn't stick. It is difficult to watch guys landing fish flossing them while I am getting skunked, but we didn't move over to the dark side. One thing I would like to say is that if you half to catch fish by flossing or snagging, please don't brag about your catch.
