Just add a lot of weight to get them down near the bottom. Then tie them onto a spinning rod/reel set up to get it down to them, since they'll be too heavy to cast with a fly rod. Mark goes after deep fish with a fly rod ... but I'm still waiting for a video to see how that is done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
