Mike, I'm using a sink tip line and all but bouncing the fly off the rocks. I retrieve it with six inch strips that hopefully keep it close to the bottom without constantly hanging on the rocks. I've found if you're never hanging slow down. Constantly hanging. Speed up. When there is a pretty good chop I've had success hanging it below a bobber with about six feet of leader. Find the place where the water is about that deep and suspend off the bottom. Waves and chop will give it some action. I think the hardest part is learning how fast or slow to work down the bank in your tube or boat. My philosophy is if you think your going too slow, slow down a little bit. Catfish on a flyrod are seriously fun. If the government finds out about, they'll soap a son tax on it.
