Its damn nice to actually catch fish on a jig/bobber setup after swinging flies the majority of the winter. I feel its something of an accomplishment for me when I do hook up on the traditional fly method and its a method I use faithfully every winter (must be a sickness). However, as the year goes on I find myself fishing more and more with the bobber. I even use my spey rod with a small cork bobber and a 1/16 oz jig...best of both worlds!
