[quote forgiven]I see. So you are in essence "bobber fishing"[.img][url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif%5B/img%5D"]http://www.bigfishtackle.com/...orum/happy.gif[/img][/url] with a breakaway slip bobber! LOL
Seriously, I have heard of this rigging but have never tried it. Maybe I will this year. Have you tried it with snail patterns?
I like fishing deep and straight down with nymphs & leaches too. I have many times had a High-D line all the way out along with several feet of backing to get to the TOADS. [
]
Once we horse packed into the River of no Return Wilderness area and fish a deep lake in the cinder cone of an old volcano. Took float tubes of course. We were catching HUGE wild cutthroats way deep. One of my favorite High -D lines still remains in about 50 feet of water were I had to leave it hoplessly wrapped around something on the bottom of that lake.
Are the strike indicators you use like these in the PIX below?

I thought you were talking about clipping the alligator clip of the depth sounding weight onto the leader when I warned about abrasion. Sorry I misunderstood.[/quote]
Where do you get your top indicators?
Nevermind, I saw surpluswilly- ebay. 4 for $5.95
Way too much for styro slip bobbers.
The Fly Desk is way cheaper.
