Yep. Me too sometimes when I'm not using a VOSI. But I usually use a yellow foam pusher (Dinny type Dremel Bug) on the fly rod with a scud dropper. The scud dropper (smaller fly) is tied to about two feet of 6lb. test monofiliment with the other end tied to the hook bend of the pusher (larger fly) so the dropper trails behind the pusher. I get bites on one fly or the other but sometimes I get doubles also. I got about ten or twelve bream (various kinds) out of one hot spot today with this dropper rig. They were feeding on a some small insect that dropped off the bank out of some brush down into the water which explains why I got most of them on the dropper rather than on the pusher.

That "quill thingy" is exactly that ..... a Crow or Goose quill.
Usually hand-made into a float - can be painted, or left natural.

Here's a pic of "Quill floats" :

Thanks, CP. I will check those out.

I like the Waggler floats from Thill seen to work great and most of the float is under water so wind does not effect it as much

Never use anything but the quill usually about the 8 inch long version. But I usually am fishing 6 ft or less. I think another option would be better for deep water fishing, some type slip bobber

I love these Porcupine Quills. They are so sensitive.

natural colored 1 inch cork float that the line goes through. I have tried them all for bluegill, one does the same as the other, it goes down when you get a bite.

I like the quill floats too. Have not been able to find any Tub Man got the last ones at Marrowbone lake bait shop. Mr Peppers has not been able to locate and restock. Good for shellcrackers. Anyone know where to get them now? Bass Pro does not have them. Lots of people never have heard of them. The plain cork is good. lol
