Been doing this way before the float and fly was a thing as a fly fisher.. Just throwing balance leeches/minnows under bobbers Nymphing with an indicator on rivers is one of the best tactics for late summer smallies munching nocturnal stones... nothing new but a great tactic
It’s just a basic minnow pattern I tie. No instructions or anything for it anywhere. But you can really get creative with the f&f. Almost anything is going to work if it’s the right weight and is fished right. I use 1/32oz jig head flies. You can even just tie a wholly bugger on a jig hook. Basic dark leeches are a go to.
Love the vid and the channel.. Great content...Much Love
thanks!

All anyone needs to know about the float n fly on my channel! Thank you Loon for the great support!!
I'm ready to fish with you! Well, maybe after it stops raining. And that Float-n-Fly works great in Idaho for smallies
What weight / length rod do you like best for for float-n-fly?
5-7wt 9'6" to 10'
What fly is he tying at the end of the video?
Looks like a clouser minnow. Easy to tie.
It’s a balanced minnow he calls the Williams Wakisagi it’s a great balanced fly.
