Hot Glue Alevin
SUBMITTED BY: Barry Moore
| FISHING METHOD: The most important thing to remember when
fishing this pattern is that the alevin is an extremely week swimmer so
cast upstream if possible and allow to tumble and free fall down stream
the best way possible. Use several upstream mends to slow down the drift.
This pattern should fish well under an indicator on a floating line. I
usually use a sink tip for most of my river fishing. Cast in and hang on! |
