Notes: This high protein meal is used to dredge deep pools and undercuts of the Rancheria and Takhinni Rivers for phat salvalini customers. I like to let it swing downstream and vary the speed appropriate mends. I will use a our old favorite the Teeny 200 sink tip to present this pattern. In pocket water I use the Teeny Chuck and Duck line and let it dive between rocks to illicit viscious strikes. This pattern is a wonderful rip and strip searching pattern while drifting from a driftboat. Just chuck, duck and hang on.
