Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 19, 2012 Root Admin Posted February 19, 2012 Got out this afternoon and fished with friend John Johnson. Boated up to the Narrows and started with jig and float... and ended with pretty much the same thing. Four feet under an indicator, I used a black half-micro jig, John used a 1/125th oz scuplin/ginger with an orange head -- 2 pound line. Actually fished below the Narrows and up against the chunk rock bank and down to the boat ramp and caught rainbows. Some were nice - up to 14 inches, heavy and fought hard. Great conditions- cloudy and a slight breeze chopped the water perfectly. Boat traffic didn't seem to bother the bite. Everyone was nice and polite. Looks like they're going to run water tomorrow. The boys have already rigged up with an egg fly / scud tandem for drifting the trophy area.
mwfischer Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Phil, is there anything else special rigged on these drift rigs aside from a working indicator? I have never fished the drift rig, and assume I can pick up what i need at your shop, but I really don't know if there are any special ties or knots, or leaders involved, etc.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 20, 2012 Author Root Admin Posted February 20, 2012 Babler uses the same configuration as the rigs in our shop. I just use a split shot above the fly(s)
Gatorjet Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 So it would be the regular Taneycomo drift rig with the dropper weight only with a egg fly, and scud on the hook end? How far apart for the flys? Real men go propless!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 21, 2012 Author Root Admin Posted February 21, 2012 About 18 inches. yes- same rig.
