Let's See Some Trout Jigs

[SaltyBuckster]

Ok,I am going in on the 5th of September to get a new set of prosthetic legs.Hanger's Outdoorsman's Legs.I will have to get after some trout.I never thought that I would be able to trout fish again like before but this guy says yes I will.I have'nt trout fished in over 10 years because of them.I've got about a pound of 1/64,1/80 and 1/100 but just want to see what people are catching them with.I'm a Copy Cat,lol.Here's what I think will work.Show me yours.

Salty - Here's one I've been using

and here's an article from a really old mag about trout patterns on jigs

Thems fine looking micros, guys. But, too light for me to cast without a helper attachment, so...

Last year I found out by accident that bigger trout like bigger jigs, so this will be on the front line in WY North Platte River system starting next week. 1/12 oz.(including 3/16" solid bead) #2 Gami hook dark brown mink #1 brass prop holographic gold Flashabou. The hook is custom bent 90*-60* but there is around a 20% loss to breakage. Perfect black + glitter paint job courtesy of AtticaFish.

What size trout in what kind of environment are you targeting Salty?

There are a few bruisers around here but,not very many.Over 2 million trout fishermen around the state.I might go up to a 1/32 with a size 8 hook if I think there might be a big brown around.But the place that will be my main target area is Poe Valley.A couple 5' streams running into it.Lots of 6" Spruce Trout.All natives with deep red meat.Can't wait to see if I can still catch them like before.

Don't know about PA but there's been times when the fly's just haven't been working and some of the fly fishers get a bit BENT!!!! when you whip out the spinning rod with a jig or spinner!!!

We don't care about them kind of fishermen,lol.If they are having a bad day I will give them a couple of jigs and maybe a "00" inline spinner.

Guess I shouldn't ask how you feel about fly fishing only stretches!!!!!!!!LOL

 

[flounder pounder]

Wouldn't know for I don't fish them fly fish only streams, but I do get more than my fair share of fishing I In where those sissy fly guys won't go.

Guess the question should be how many days a year do you get on the watet....

 

[Fatman]

This year 31!!!!!!!! and after 3 1/2 yrs not being able to go it was great!!!!!!!! plus I got to introduce my grand daughter to it.

Personnally I hate those stretchs!!!!!!!! Shouldn't be allowed!!!

 

[Hawnjigs]

OK, I's prepared for brookies too. Here's a 1/24 #8 Sickle shorter mink+gold Flashabou small fly prop. Should be reasonably castable on 4# mono with a micro size profile for tight lips.

Jig snobs would be seriously out of place where I'm heading. Every blessed vid is from flyguys.

Very nice jigs Hawn.I'm sure that I could use that one.I can see it sliding down a small waterfall and hitting the pool then Gulp.

 

[StumpHunter]

This one is tied on a 1/80 with a #10 hook.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Very nice Ronnie.I've got 9 iof the same jigs curing in the toaster oven right now.What is palmered around the neck?

 

[StumpHunter]

Bruce, I think the one in that pic was a body feather off a Ringneck Pheasant but I also tie them using hen saddle. I tried tying with Partridge but the feathers break so easy I quit tying with them for palmering necks.

 

[Fatman]

Nice jig stump!!!!!! Salty can't wait to see yours!!!!!!!!

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Here is one pattern that I made last night.Now it's time to change it up.

 

[Fatman]
