MMdon is right on...I used 10lb braided...tipped with 2-3 of flouro carbon...we actually tried doing it with low stretch mono like cxx and could get a good hook set and also missed those light bites. Braided is a must!
Also-we jigged at 250-270ft! yea, I'm headed to Yellowstone Lake in June so I will give it a try there too. My buddy just ordered some similar jigs in tin so we're legal[:p]!
That mack days event up there is nuts...people really do catch their limit of 50 fish/day. Many people donate their fish when turning them in...they feed a lot of families with the amount that people end up donating. If you go, might want to just fish the the S end and that way your cost is only $12 for a full yrs license (that part of the lake is on the reservation)
