ChrisK Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Like others have said,and so it begins.... Just to add to this reoccurring annual thread a little....If rigged properly fly's can be very effective when run under a float. This eliminates all the horizontal line laying in the river which causes the flossing effect. When I say rigged properly I mean rigged so the fly doesn't drag bottom under the float. When the fly is dragging bottom the float rig is now transformed into a lethal snagging tool so float fishing with a fly or any other presentation for that matter just a little higher than ground zero is a better option when legit fishing for salmon... I guess what I'm saying here is any form of fishing for salmon in the river can be either legit or turned into something very wrong all pending on the individual using the pole. We also got to keep in mind too that every year brings new inexperienced fisherman to the rivers that never fished for salmon or even know what flossing fish means or perhaps don't even own a computer to access all this wonderful information we have to offer so its important to "gently" educate our new river friends when you see this stuff happening. I'm sure you all do already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, There's a lot of different ways to rig presentations under a float. Some guys line the rig with shot starting big on top and scale down to the swivel and so on but for the water I fish I like to keep a stealthy presentation which uses very little split shot weight or none at all relying on the weight of the fly to take it to depth all pending on water conditions and if the fly has been tied with its own lead core or not. Its all about water conditions,silty,deep and fast,deep dead drifts or very shallow.... Thats where your split shot or lack of it will make all the difference in the world.

camillj Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hwy 2 to lake ... open until Dec 31 ! (Most tribs) ... and come on fellas .. lets call it like it is ... inside the mouth is legal and fair ... (as long as you dont force it in there) - I dont remember see anything in the regs that says the fish has to want to actually eat it .... MANY fish get caught ONLY because they just want to KEEEEEL it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctranter Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 After all the debate over posting specific locations has been touched on over and over (and over), why are threads like this allowed to (apparently) violate the rules? They would be easier to follow if they were enforced consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm so glad that you decided to chime in with your expert opinion. Thanks! If I have a question about bolt cutters, I'll ask you. Learn something about fly fishing fresh fish first. Trust me. It helps you come across like you know what you are talking about. Otherwise, I'll start advising my friends to pick up a 6' bass rod and target some muskie. Have a good night Hahahahaha, fly fishermen. How dare you insult the most prestigious, perfect way to fish, ever created?! Why, holding a regular fishing rod might as well be holding a Dora rod cuz you're not a man until you've whipped a tiny ass fly out into a river 6 million times to MAYBE land a half decent fish, which would have been much more easily and safely caught with a real rod. I fly fished for 3 years. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
