Who Invented the Float-n-Fly...

[JimDicken]

Well if I got to be famous for something at least it has to do with fishing and not crime.. LOL..
The Float and Fly founder will never really be known. I am sure it developed over years and years and may not have even been a cold water idea. The OLD article is OLD.. at least 5 years old and since I wrote it with the help of Bob Coan I have learned that it truly DID start as a crappie and bluegill rig and Fred may have a second evolutionary line for the trout fishermen from Pennsylvania or the Cumberland river..
Truth is it may be a cross from both the river trout guys and the lake and crappie guys.

They also use something similar in the surf for stripers. Wooden egg as a bobber and a small (1/4 or 1/2 oz) jig. Not sure how long it has been around.
