Jig Fishing Trout

[Kayote]

I've fished quite a bit for trout with jigs. I always liked 1/8 oz jigs in dark colors. I prefer plastic bass jigs over maribou, but I have friends that swear by the maribou. The trick is to keep the jig moving. With bass you drop and hop. With trout, just keep it swimming and pop it gently from time to time. In a lake, you do a lot more reeling than in moving water. I like to keep it just off the bottom. In rivers, you don't have to reel much at all, just pop it and let it go with the current. It works best for brook trout and browns.

Good Fishing, Kayote
