Drift fishing small streams for Rainbow Trout - By Whitefish

Sometimes when flyfishing, you'll come across a spot that is inaccsessable due to deep water, brush, or a steep slope. Sometimes drift fishing in these areas may be your best bet.


Tips and Hints!
You'll want to keep your jig about 4 to 10" off the bottom for best results.
If you cast above a strong current, let the jig drift down, falling into an eddy.
The lighter the line you use, the easier it is going to be to feel a strike.
Using a sliding bobber with a bobber stop is a great way to keep you jib off the bottom, and to see strikes.
Wearing polorized sunglasses will make it easier to spot fish in clear or shallow water.
