cuzza Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Morning all, Finally got round to making some steelhead jigs last night - have seen them in the shops and thought "I can do that" .... From what I can find out, they are best fished under a float/indicator a few feet off bottom. Can anyone give any more tips for rigging them up? Are there conditions when they'll outfish other baits or is it just a case of changing things up til something works? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just finished tying a few flashy steelhead flies myself! never fished jigs for them before but steelhead love anything that flashes so I would imagine there is no wrong way to fish them. They look great by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krixxer Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 you don't have white? Not conventional but last year I used a (heavy)fly just like that under a slip bobber. I had great success in the lower with that set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think of TJ when I was typing the title The one second left is white with a splash of pink (looks more pink in the pic TBH) - was planning on doing some more so flashy blue and pure white seem to be the order of the day. Thanks for the feedback guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
