Notes

Fished on Roche Lake in September-October in shallow water of 10 feet or less, where a floating line has met with success. Early spring and late fall, it is retrieved with a series of short pulls followed by a five to eight second pause. The chenille is burnt with a lighter to melt and seal the plastic fibres, leaving the bottom fibres as legs.
