And let's not forget skaters and spiders.
Although they seem to have gone out of fashion, they are a perfect way to fish small streams and pocket water.
With a long enough leader, in fact, you line never has to touch the water at all. Plus, with the right wind and a little finesse, the skater barely touches it itself.
I've often wondered why skaters went out of fashion. True, they can be difficult to tie. But so, too, can parachute flies. You do what you have to do to get the job done.
