Question for Mike.

Mike I read allot in your articles you talk about using a
float and fly. what kind of float and fly do you use ? and
where and how do you use them.

[Mike Bucca]

bdj, I have used the float and fly but I haven't spoken about it in an article. Maybe you are thinking of the Bama Rig?? But anyhoo The fly I use is hand tied. Nothing special just a 1/16th oz jig head with some feather and flashabou on it. I have an 10ft rod. I'm still playing with this technique some. Last year I bombed on it primarily because we had very little clear water in the winter time. TWO things I have found needed for the float and fly to be successful. Clear and cold water.

Thanks Mike for the information.

Use a big old popping cork with about 2 foot leader with fly on end, deadly for surface fish and you can chunk half way across lake on a 7 foot heavy rod. Same technique as Mike calls Bama rig.

1kicker, I think he's talking about the float and fly not the popping cork rig. These are 2 totally different animals.
