Hey Dave - (PSS don't tell anyone) I guided the Alagnak up in AK and the jig was my coho killer. 1/4 to 1/2 oz depending on the water, in colors - Cerise and Chartruese rabbit hair. Another place besides slack water that jigs work really well is the area slightly down stream of a bend in the river where there is a sand bar on the inside that drops off as the water moves to the other bank. The water will kind of "dance" where this occurs, and the holes usually deep. The fish may not be noticable all the time but they stack up in these holes just below the lip of the sand. As soon as one of these jigs pops over the lip into the hole you'd better hold on. The really seem to key on the vertical dropping motion.

A typical day up there between 3 guys was 80 to a 100 fish. No Joke. Your arms were worn out.

Depending on the water conditions I also like to toss hammered brass spoons, the half oz variety. Speaking of, these things are getting harder then hens teeth to find. The real brass spoons not the lightweight brass plated tin POS ones. Anyone have any leads?
