    Default What do you call this lure?

    Found this rig in the river at the end of a snag attached by something like 300 lb test mono.

    The nerve of this "fisherman", not taking the time to remove the barb from his "lure" while "fishing" in barbless water!

    Ron, that's called a "jig". What you do is, walk out on a bridge, like the footbridge at Sunrise, and elbow your way into the crowd. Next lower your "jig" straight down into the water. Now you gently raise and lower your "jig" in an up and down motion. You want your "jig" to rise very quickly from it's lowest point to a spot about, say, as high as you can reach standing on tiptoes reaching as high as you can. Repeat this maneuver as often and as quickley as you can stand. Don't stop or the guy next to you might catch your fish. Once your "jig" sinks into the belly of a fish............. I think I can stop now. :angry ED

    Hey, that looks like the rig I got my fish on today

    Amazing the stuff you can find on the bottom of a river. That is an odd looking Colorado blade.
    Ya don't know, if ya don't go!

    Hey, Jay, Mark (Sculpin) and I are sitting around watching the Kings play Portland and getting ready to go fishing for stripers in the morning. It's good I have an Oregoneon with me, it's supposed to be 25F in the morning.

    Ski mountain? I know steelhead are aggressive, relentless, migratory machines but I wasn't aware they make it all the way up to a ski mountain near Medford Oregon!
