what is a good fly for float and fly,,,size color etc. thanks ahead!
I normal use a 1/16 head with a BG of some sort. monkey milk, bone/chart. I have recently started using jiffy jigs. I also use a smaller cork so I don't have to use a split shot to stand the cork up
Man I use different float for different things but i use 1/6 jigs most of the time. I will post some pics of some of the setups I use later tonight
I like a cigar float with the weight on the bottom when they are pretty aggressive and taking it down under. When they are coming up at it, I'll use a non weighted float so it lays sideways and lets me know a fish has the jig. Usually use a 1/16 jig head.
All right like Bob said my favorite is a cigar float and I use a twitch twitch pause retrieve.
Cigar float
Unweighted cigar float. Like Bob said for when there coming up on it. It will turn sideways. This is what I had to use today. Also works better when there's no wind and the water is like glass.]
If there's a lot of wind this what I use, just reel slowly. You can throw it a mile to.Attachment 232073
I use a weighed cigar float just like this one. I mostly use a 1/16 oz marabou jig. Sometimes I use a 1/32 oz marabou. Color is usually white. Jig is between 18 inches and 30 inches below the float.Quote:

That sounds good can you show us how to fix them.
