Beautiful pics and awesome fish!! Great work! I hadn't discovered jigs until the late 1980's when I went thru some not so successful back surgery. Stuck in the house for almost a year, I built a rod and got into painting and tying jigs that basically looked like flies. On a trip back from the doctors one day I decided to stop at a small gravel pit lake right off the highway. My first cast with the homemade jig and rod and I caught myself cranking it like a crankbait! lol I cast again and watched the line as it sank to the bottom. Just as soon as it neared the bottom, bingo fishon! I ended up catching 13 perch from 12 to 14 inches!!! I was amazed and pissed all at once wondering how I had missed using jigs for so darned long! Been hooked on them ever since! (pun intended)
Great work Big Sky!! I may make it back to Montana in a few months visiting a very old friend and maybe camping for a few months near Noxon. Maybe see ya on a stream (if it ain't to far from the parking, backs still messed up but it ain't gonna control me any longer!) These great pics sure have brightened my day! Thanks!!
