jigging for bows!!

[silvio]

It all started when my dad came home from work a bit early. I asked him to head out knowing I wouldn't have much time on the water. We got down to the river to see all the ice and snow melted and the water a bit too off color for my liking. We walked to the pool and every minute that went by it would get darker and darker I committed 3/4 my time to pink worms. With no success and our time coming to an end I tied on a pink/ purple jig. A few cast in a tree clamed my hole setup. I retied and put on a hot pink jig 2 drifts in I say to my dad its getting late... Shortly after my float drops and I set into this nice fish. caught it on a jig I tied last night it really made my day. Shortly after releasing the fish we left.

Nothing more satisfying than succeeding with a product fashioned by your own hands.

Question for you guys out there who fish jigs. Have you ever noticed that a large majority of fish that hit pink jigs are male steelhead and majority of fish off white jigs are female?? This is a pattern that I have been noticing for the last few years. Maybe its just a weird coincidence.

Nice fish Sil!!! I hit the Notty yesterday for an hour or 2 and came up with nada!

[super dave]

Same with Black. I tend to catch a lot more males with black jigs and buggers.

Lol Bill next year all show you the lower notty. Wish I spent more time fishing it this year.

[BillM]

I think I am going to cut my losses and hit the lower the next time I go out!

[silvio]

The lower is extremely hit or miss... Its very big water with nothing to stop these fish from migrating upstream but its worth a try. My buddy who lives up there is going to pm me with what the northern tribs are like he's been doing well up there. I might make the trip up this weekend if time allows me too.
