Jigs, Thanks for the info.
I usually get out there 1-2 times every spring. Some of out best fishing has come between the two bridges along the rip rap on the Chamberlain side of the river. Usually pitching fireball jigs tipped with minnows or a 3″ Gulp minnow, in shallow (2 fow) and working them back out to 10-12 fow. Jigs tipped with ringworms work really well here too. Although this can be very productive, you loose a lot of jigs. Have had a lot of success as well fishing the outside edges of the main river channel north of town, verticle jigging the same presentation. Do you know were they letting water out of the dam daily? Fishing up there can be awesome while the water is running, but then will completely shut down when they shut the water off. Again, thanks for the info!
