Exactly glowballin bc is the most productive. Its not a fluke bawk bawk. Im pointing out that drifting eggs isnt ideal at blue creek is all. There is way too many snags for it and with the whole presentation on the bottom sliding and bouncing it will more then likely result in snagged gear.

Glow balling lightest weight possible to tick the bottom. Depending on water levels its going to very how much lead to use and how far to cast out. Its a river, but because soo many people fish there and loose gear its really gotten bad last few years with snags from bank. Im done cause I dont want to seem like I know what Im saying.
More fish please!

That brings up another really good point pooh. Last time I was down there I stuffed about 400 yards of trash line into my wading jacket and packed it out with me. The derelict gear in and out of the river both is really really awful down at blue creek if you go down please take some of it out with hou to the garbage, even if it isn't yours.
