Putting it out there to yarn drifters:

 

What size yarnies are you drifting for what conditions?  Will the work under a float?

 

Also, do you use them with beads/corkies for BBing deep fast stuff like the whirlpool?

 

Thanks!

Either yarn is not that big with OFF steelheaders, or I'm prying into baits people just don't like to share

 

After some research, answer is (according to the Fishing w/ JD Blog and Steelheaders.net) match corkie/spin and glow and yarn with the size of the hook, but generally start out making them the size of a nickel.

 

All the information is for bottom bouncing, nothing about floats.

 

Still the burning question is will it drift under a float? I'm assuming a small micro shot needs to be placed near the hook to keep it from floating up... but is this a bait i can take to the tribs when a guy has no roe?

I use to see people use them before beads took over. This was a few years ago.

I fish yarn egg patterns under the float exclusively, they work really well for me, i tend to use them in more clear water. white and peach are my go to colours.

X2 , two tone colours work well as well. Small shot can be added to your leader to get it down there if needed.
