The floating drift rig one of the most common drift rigs used to catch fish in moving water. The other is the slinky drift rig. These rigs are often employed to catch salmon and steelhead but they can work just as well for most other fish in flowing water to. Fish living in moving water watch things flow past them all day long. Most things float at around the same speed as the water. Drift rigs are designed to match this flow to the greatest extent possible.
