Default virtual guide gig

The water is fast, over knee deep at the most shallow spots ( I have NEVER
seen a fish in the "shallow" spots, don't know why, but would guess the
bottom structure doesn't provide enough relief from the water's force ).
The water force is such that five (5) AB non toxic shot will NOT get a fly
to the bottom in thigh/waist deep water ( the deepest I can even stand up
in safely at this water velocity )

Just below those shallows the bottom falls off bedrock shelves. Below
these steep dropoffs the water is too deep and fast to wade in most places,
and often contains downed trees and such. Most of the water can be reached
by a longish cast to 5+ft deep fast water, only a very small percentage can
be waded to and fished with a short line, ala high sticking.

The last two times there, each a brief one, I have managed a few fish on
weighted woolybuggers cast to the deep areas and allowed to swing. But,
there must be a better way ....

suggestions?

oh .... your fee and tip will be virtual, too G
