That is good advise Os. After learning the basics of jig fishing, which isn't difficult, leave the bait rods at home and just bring a variety of good jigs and jig rod only to a river that has fish in and is on the clearish side. This will make you stick with it and you will be on your way. And be amazed at how productive these little lures can be much of the time.

Rainbow, Silent Approach, BeauMac, and First Cast are all good jigs. And all fun!
