Awesome tailwater bow! I've been planning to tie up some jigs and give it a go with a bobber like they do for steelhead up north. Your method of tickling the bottom looks like a winner too! I'll be trying both methods this year.
That is exactly the idea, Dalton. We caught several fish on fly tackle and tiny nymphs that morning, and then switched to the spinning gear and a marabou jig simply for a change of pace. Also, spinning gear is a great way to overcome windy days or high, muddy water.

What rod was this on? Love Troys stuff.
Chad Lachance uses
St. Croix rods exclusively, mainly Trout Series.
UL or L what length??
Always cast upstream bring bait lure jig down stream fish look for easy meals.
wow what a fish
Do you tie these yourself?
Actually a buddy ties them for me.
Just curious, being a fly fisherman I think this would be a fun alternative for spin fishing!
