letting it "strum" in the water usually produces larger fish for me anyways, espexcially with darters

great question on the length of the drift

vary until you find where the fish are, they are usually holding somewhere specific in the drift

Piemma would probably know this as i read in an old timers log book once......drifting the river on a 14 count, 16 count, 20 count, finally starting picking up the fish on 36 count, and there was fish every drift for the next 2 hours on the 36 count
