depends on how your fishing. if your fishing little current with short leader and something the fish will acutally bite like a spin-n-glo or roe, then it's unpredictable. but if like most on the upper fraser bb'ing with 10+ft. leaders, then your flossin em' ::). i wonder if they ever actually bite it though.lol ::)

This time of year what when would you need ot bounce bottom for fish that are actually biting. I realize that many bottom bounce the vedder effectively for steelhead, without flossing them. But that isn't really in season. Right now, this time of year there is no need to bottombounce for any species.

Not bottom bouncing is flossing.

Waleye fishery have a fishing method that's also called bottom bouncing, and it's totally different than Fraser bbing.

Sam: here is a link with rigging info. http://www.reactionbaits.com/tackle_rigging_4.aspx#BotBounce

However i will remind you that Bottom Bouncing IS flossing. Flossing is intentionally snagging fish. If you feel that is ethical then go right ahead, however be prepared for many others to slag you for it. I will also remind you that DFO has asked for selective angling methods, which means NO flossing/bottombouncing/snagging.

Have fun.
