Just an idea for you to try while jig fishing. Blood knot on an 18" extention to the end of your line, leaving about a 6" line tag at the blood knot. After tying on the lower jig, tie on a good attractor steelhead fly to the 6" tag up above. This is often effective for steelhead flyfishing, so why not for jig fishing?

Works great if you know what kind of jigs to use and how to use 'em.

Will there be a south bound breez coming? We have a barbaric high pressure system in place. Hang on to your hats, it could get windy below.

A six inch tag attached to the bend of the hook with a fly tied on works pretty darn well too. The fly is generally riding a little higher in the water column. A tiny corky in front of the fly will float it a little better. Green Butt Skunks, Caballeros, (cerise version of a green butt) and bright wooly buggers have been the best for me. Use a heavy shanked hook to keep from straightening it out.

Hey Steve,

Could you hold that fish out just a teensy bit further next time???

Guilty as charged Backlash. But I was just kidding around and showing the guys my "Teeny Reach" as the cam went off - that's why no smile in the pic. The fish was a big 14 pounder, but looks like a 20 pounder with the Teeny style photo. Please excuse my silliness.
