Some of the old fly rod bait fishermen who i fished with when i was young would use a strung minnow on the end/tippet and tie in a couple dropper flies a distance up the leader , while the minnow dragged in the current the tiniest twitch of the rod would cause the dropper flies to bounce and flutter around on the surface , at times it looked as if the minnow was chasing the flies , this method was as deadly as anything i've ever seen on our Pa homewaters. Moving the fly and creating the impression of life at one time was considered unethical.
