    RE: The float n fly

    I would highly recommend a fishing trip with Bob Coan, if you want to learn to Floatn Fly Fish. Bob has developed his own way to rig the Float and fly and it works extremely well. Bob is well known for his rig and his ability to catch fish on the Float and Fly.
    Call Bob at 1-913-243-3827

    RE: The float n fly

    Could someone explain exactly how you fish this method. I've read these posts before and in my head I sit here and try to imagine what it looks like and for the life of me I have no idea how to do this. Thanks.

    FnF Method explained ...

    An old "standby" method of Crappie fishing, the FnF has been adopted by the Bass fishing crowd - with great success. Here's a couple of links that help explain the basics:

    http://www.outdoorlife.com/outdoor/f...553024,00.html
    >>>note - In this article, guide Jim Duckworth talks about "why" Bass (in clear, cold water) are susceptible to this method. Duckworth has a FnF rod that he designed ... to be marketed by BnM Poles. It can be seen on the BnM website (http://www.bnmpoles.com/ffcs.html). I've been fieldtesting this rod for BnM, over the last couple of months. The rod has performed very well, for the techniques/methods I've used it for (casting/jigging for Crappie). I'm hoping to get a chance to put it to use on Smallmouth, this Nov at Watts Bar Lake.


    http://www.bronzeback.com/chronicles.htm ... Fred McClintock's article

    http://www.fintalk.com/moxie/1/1_1/fishing-lures.shtml ... "our own" Jim Dicken's article

    I hope these articles will help you understand the basics of this method. Everyone tweaks the method to suit themselves, or the fish's mood, or the conditions they face. You will no doubt do the same ............ luck2ya ........cp
