Too easy? the only thing too easy about fishing in the North West, is gettin' rained on!
There are days that are magical.....My son and I once hit three nice winter runs out of the same slot on the same jig in less than 15 minutes, and then there are days when you can't buy a strike, like today! but that's all a part of the game.
I too am really into jigs, have been for the last five years, but some times when that tap-tap-tap of lead on bottom stops and you lift the rod tip and feel the shake of a massive head, or watch the flash of a spinner blade as a chrome missle comes out of the depths, the jaws open and the battle begins......well those send a chill up my spine too.
I'm thankful for all of them, each in their own way should not be missed, or dismissed, as less than worthy!
I usually carry, in my vehicle, a 10 1/2 ft. float rod,with spinning reel. A 8 1/2 ft drift rod, with level wind reel. My 9wt fly rod and a 8 1/2 ft spinning rod. I know that might seem like overkill for a bankie, but I would rather be ready for whatever the conditions require. My goal is to experience the thrill of steelheading, in all it's variations, after all, isn't that what keeps us on the river?
