The old ways are sometimes the weird ways

[calamari]

In the increasingly distant past I bought a bunch of back issues of Salmon, Trout, Steelheader magazine which had articles describing the earliest examples of kokanee fishing when the accepted technique was to drag a line on the bottom with just maggots on a hook. The articles described how the author's father was the boat keeper at the boat club on this lake and would consistently win the club's contests. He'd (they'd all) row out in the club's boats let out their lines with the maggots on them, row away and then slowly reel the line in dragging the maggots along the bottom.
First, can anyone top that as a strange kokanee technique and has anyone used it or similar "old style" methods?

The only strange technique i've come across was a corn scent an old fart up at Paulina told me about years ago. He mentioned he soaked it in Vodka (and judging by the way he was walking i think he ate the left-over's.) 101shock1101

Well it's certainly uncommon but it's also hard for me to find fault with it and the way you say he dealt with the leftovers.tooexcited
