Default Temptation

http://montana-riverboats.com/Temptation

Every fly fisherman has succumed to temptation, and tried something
like this (the above link) at one time or another--haven't they?

The guy who showed me this one told me he used to fish
Rapalas on the Madison when he was a boy. Although he
did toss them with a spinning rod, he fished them like dry flies,
he said. He cast them out of a tin boat and drifted them, almost
motionless,
over-top the deepest, bluest troughs in the river. Big browns would
come up out of nowhere, he said, and smack them so hard it was scary.

Makes you wonder about how to make a long fat floating minnow
that would be a tad easier to cast. Maybe a lightweight version
of the (http://montana-riverboats.com/Twinkie) Twinkie would work.
