Use any bait you want, as long as its raw shrimp. Tip a pink jig with it and float in under a Bobber, and hold on!

Yup, showed spoonman that drift this year. Metzler or Highway 18 stretch is the places to be. It's not a technical deal, bobber and jig with shrimps. Shouldn't have to try too hard. Not a lot of fish that you'll want to take home, but there are a lot of fish.

I wrote an article on the Metzler Drift for this site. You can see it in the article section - category rivers - page 6

Hooray I just got done with my ban and I can post again! Phew...

Anyways I just wanted to say that the river is producing great winter runs already and that you should get out there. Most of the rotting flesh has washed away and not only does the river smell nice it is fishing well to. I would recommend areas between Georgetown and black diamond .
