Thank you for playing the role of sports fishing ambassador.  I wish more people would take the time like yourself.  It feels good and does a lot of good.

Purple over pink or visa versa, is the ticket.  Have a chartreuse with pink or purple handy as a change up if it goes quite.

I'm lazy with fishing chum, using a bit of rubber tubing above a swivel so I can stick various lengths of lead in there depending on the weight of my terminal tackle.  With a heavy 3/8 jig I can use a shorter piece then when I change to a 1/8 jig or small blade or even a single Jensen egg I can rapidly replace with a longer piece and keep the float at the optimum position.

PS, if you want to try a blade, brass appears to be the best option in a size 3-4.

I think we need more people in general willing to help. In life, not just on the river. :)

Good for you for setting an example of what a fisherman should be like... We need more gentlemen on the river, and a lot more acts of kindness like this.

This is a wonderful sport and more kindness should be shared.

Unfortunately there are no good videos at least that I really like without witnessing snaggers or flossing.  Though Matt Hayes I hear makes good videos.

I found this while typing this all out, not sure though if its what you are looking for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvOQpv7aEWY its mostly underwater but they give a few quick tips in there about the technique. This video after further research isn't to bad.

For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught, not even how he has caught them, but what he has caught when he has caught no fish.

Read Rodney's post on short floating, has pictures of what to do and what not to do. Just switch roe with jigs or spinnerS

Since the co's don't seem to care about all the snagging going on there it's nice
To hear some people take the time to teach some of them the alternatives. I showed one guy last time I was there, this is what it's gonna take.

Hey guys,

I have found short float fishing with jigs really effective for chum but never really tried it for springs and coho.  I would definitely prefer to use roe on cohos in slower water but has anyone success targeting springs and coho using jigs on a short float, especially in faster moving water?  Thanks.

No twitch when floating. Twitching jigs is without s float in slower water.
