Notes
Fished under an indicator, either static or with a quick strip after it has sat for a few minutes, with depth adjusted because daphnia rise and fall with the light. The author finds it especially good in the morning before a chironomid hatch, and it produced well at Corbett Lake and Leighton Lake. Using a jig hook and waiting for the indicator to load before setting improves hookups.
