The over head trees are the pits! They make it nearly impossible to cast anything. A short light rod helps if there is enough room to cast anything at all. That is why on the small bushy streams I was fishing, I used such a short leader. With the overhead branches you can't even lift your rod up. A small side arm or bow and arrow cast might also work. I hope you have waders and can retrieve your line out of the bushes!!!
The problem I have seen with the bubble is that it sometimes spooks the fish when it lands in shallow water. But ya gotta work with what you have. Soft as possible and just barely to the side, if he wants it he might move over and investigate.
Can you get a nymph or something to float down and under from upstream? Tricky not to snag up though.
Good Luck!
