Your success will not be as good as flossing though.
Fishing often means a day without success and no angler should be surprised by a day being skunked. Some have chosen a method of flossing the line though the fishes mouth to better their odds, but IMO, this has created some very serious issues for sport angling.
It's each persons' choice on what they want to do, but I hope people do consider both avenues fully and myself, I hope one does not simply go for 'easier is better' choice. As in most things, easier is not often best/right, free is never really free, and shortcuts often lead through dangerous waters.
With the river fairly clean right now, it's a prime time to experiment within the boundary of getting the fish to bite for a more effective way to get into some sockeye. Krill with a small spin glo or some other small offering may work very well. I bet one could short float them as well now in the clean water with small roe, wool or krill. I cant see why it would be different than the Vedder where sometimes you can do very well on them as long as you use a smaller presentation (small roe, hook, lighter leader line and a very sensitive float).
