Notes

Kelly Davison's favourite method is a riffle hitch cast down and across with a dry line, fished under tension as a waked fly, though it can also be fished damp upstream or subsurface on a sink tip. The author caught three Bulkley steelhead on it in October, all in water less than knee deep, including a 32 inch buck that took it mid-swing in the slightly riffled water.
