I actually seen a video where the guide was explaining how to use this little device for fly fishing on a lake. They used the weight just like you said, to determine the distance to the bottom. The guide lowered it to the bottom on his lowest fly, then marked the top of the water on the line with his finger, then adjusted the float/strike indicator 1 foot below his finger. What was funny about this demonstration, is while he was explaining what he was doing, he hooked a fish. I wish I could remember the video I seen this in. I know the lake was local to around here like Henry's or IP, but the ol memory is not what it used to be.
