Looking for some advice on how to pull this method off most effectively. I will be taking a backpacking trip up into the rattlesnake wilderness this coming weekend and plan to do a lot of fishing on the mountain lakes up there. I do not have fly fishing gear, but have been reading up on using the bubble float with a spinning rod in order to fish flies. I have a few questions for you guys who are more experienced in this area than I am.
1. Will the swivel be too heavy for small dry flies and cause them to sink? A gentleman at the sporting goods store recommended I use small (size 16-20 I think) flies like the mosquito, ant, and adams. Seems like the swivel may sink them, but I am not sure.
2. Are there any flies you would recommend for this area and time of year? The lakes are all around 6500-7000 feet if that matters any.
3. Any other advice is appreciated. I am new to this but I really think it could help land more fish than throwing a spinner might. Thanks!
