    I have never tried it, but as I understand the technique, all you need is light fluorocarbon line, wind , bobber and the right size and color fly. Seems a lot like drop shot fishing in that you are targeting suspended fish. I am kind of thinking that a finesse worm rigged wacky style with a big enough bobber might also be effective.

    If I get out after the fist of the year I am going to give it a try.

    Let us know how you do.
