I love chug bugs. I always have one tied on at the lake and usually cast if a few times of and on throughout the day.

I rarely use on on the river. And I think that's pretty stupid of me. But I can change.

Hijack. What would you use during the middle of the day? I'm headed to the Elk on Thurs looking for google eye and smallmouth.

How are the water conditions on the Elk. I know some other rivers have been blown out and I am looking for a place to fish this weekend.

Russ, thanks for the tip. Just what I was planning to bring.

Question: Do you rent rafts at HH? I checked your site and didn't see that you did. We are floating the Elk for the first time and have some young kids (5 and 6) with us on this trip. We decided we needed a raft for them.
