That actually sounds very realistic and do-able. I've always just stripped it in on/after the swing. However, I'm not sure why it would entice only small guys. I've caught more big trout on buggers than any other fly. Is it because the fly is just hanging out instead of swimming away from a predator in distress? That does sound like a great way to get beginners catching fish with out the hassle of dead drifting dries, mending the line and getting caught up in brush. Good post
