C'mon now... It's one of those pieces of water that without question can't be fished by a boober as well as drifted. Just the variance in depth it's self restricts the boobers ability...

I remember back in the early 90's driving up and camping at the Dickey river, where the bridge was washed out. We had a few too many to drink the night before and had a 9am rise and breakfast, one of them all night parties... I was getting my waders on when this guy pulls up and asks which way we plan to fish, up or down. I responded with "what gear are you using?" and he said he was running some of his hand tied jigs and bobbers... I told him "don't sweat it, you can go first, you'll leave all to many fish behind"... He sort of puffed his chest and grumbled about a wager... After a few pecks at each other we settled on him and I fishing down river towards tidewater and him getting first water through all of it and the person who landed the most steelhead won $20 bucks. When the fishing was done the score was me and bait drifted 4 and him with his Jigs 1. Turns out it was John Koenig who I didn't know at the time... He had all the excuses in the world for every fish I hooked behind him..
