I am interested in this.

I fish primarily for silvers in frog water, and brushy flats on the Chehalis. I have hooked a lot of fish on twitched jigs. I have had them aggressively chase swum jigs right to the side of the boat, and when I noticed that aggression switched over to a flyrod and a fly that looked the exact same as the jig, but have not had a single bump yet.

I have spent a lot of time on fly design, coming up with flies that utilize round powder coated brass heads, and marabou bodies. These look just like my jigs, but I just cant figure out how to make them fish the same.

I'm going to try a different approach this year, and use a lightly weighted pattern on the sink tip I use for ling cod and see if that with a faster strip give me different results.
