In this episode, I share a trick that was taught to me by a guide on the Green River, Utah. In his case, we floated with only a high float and had two anglers fishing off the side of the boat as it was perpendicular to the river flow. The idea was to get two long and sustainable drifts in two river sections while managing the drift for us as much as he could. I've since adopted his tip and added a dropper scenario.
