But yeah you want to throw your spinner/floater bait upstream and pull it down slowly.. if there is a current you pretty much want to just be reeling in the slack rather than dragging the bait/lure any closer to you - ie let the current bring it back.
But you can also do this with with bait. One good trick is to use a salmon egg hook and the lightest split shot (the crimp-on kind)
weight that will give you enough weight to throw it upstream a bit. Crimp it on about 18" away from the single egg, with the egg at the bottom.
You can catch a lot of trout like that.

I'm against live bait...I prefer to catch my fish with lures...'cept catfish...then I use chicken liver and beer.
