Stacking them in the boat at Willard

[Troutster]

Great post! I bought some VMC floating jigs to try and catch some cats. First attempt last week was skunksville.  Maybe wrong spot or my leader is too long, (3 feet)? I tried NW corner and SE corner.  I even hit Lost Creek 2 days earlier so I would have the right bait. I fished from about 5:50 pm to almost dark.  Any suggestions?

What's in a name?  The cats will hit the right kind of bait...pulled at the right depth and speed...on either "fligs" or floating jigs.  Sometimes the colors will make a difference...depending on water clarity.  And sometimes the length of leader can be adjusted longer or shorter to find a preference.  But, as I have proven to myself over the years, simply having a toothsome morsel floated a bit off the bottom....on something colorful and attractive...will usually get some attention if there are ACTIVE fish in the area.  

Unfortunately, while we can measure depth and speed we can't predetermine a fish's activity or receptivity.  That's the one part that usually takes some changing of location...along with speed, color, baits, etc.  

Do you have any pictures of the floating jigs you got?  For additional input you might hitch a ride with one of the dedicated and experienced fligsters.

Obifishkenobi kindly offered to school me on Willard’s ways.  These are the “fligs” I bought and tried.
