"Well, see there, if you fly fished using this technique and you had made a PDF on it, you could have been famous[
] er."
[#0000FF]I'm already infamous...for many well deserved reasons.
I first started using it with spinning gear. But I adapted it to fly fishing early on the Provo. When I was struggling to get the casting thing right with a fly rod I added about 50 feet of mono line to my fly reel and fished it by "strip casting". Works great wherever you are working runs and seams fairly close by.
But...there are some waters and some situations where...using spinning gear...I can fire my tandem bounce rig way upstream in tight cover and work holes and runs that are pretty much unfishable with fly tackle. I have a 9' 6 weight fly rod I have rebuilt into a "pocket picker" for such occasions.
Here's a pic of it in action...on the "old" Provo River...when my hair had not yet turned "blonde".
