		<description><![CDATA[One reason jig fishing for steelhead or salmon has become so popular is their ease of use. You find a place you want to fish. You determine the depth of the hole your fishing. Then adjust your float to that depth and you are fishing. It is a good idea to use a longer steelhead rod then you may normally. I like rods in the eight to ten foot range. The longer rod allows me to keep the line from my float to my rod tip out of the current and presents a more natural drift. You can use the shorter rods though, I use shorter rods in the smaller steams that I fish. They are easier for me to control especially when the bank is grown over with willows and other shrubs. I also like to use a swivel and a lighter leader so if I do hang up I do not lose my float along with my jig. Say the hole has long seam where fast and slow currents come together. You estimated the water to be five feet deep. Then adjust your float so that your jig is four feet below your float when it hits the bobber stop and you are ready. Cast your line up-steam out where the seam of the faster current mingles with the slower current and simply let the current drift your jig down through the hole. Keep an eye on your float if it is stopping or bouncing as it drifts....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know a lot of hard core Fly Fisherman will have a fit to hear that I do still use a spinning rod, and casting rod for catching fish but I just love fishing of any kind. Taking many of my less experienced friends and some for first time Steelhead fishing I have found a way to get them hooked into a fish without much coaching. This technique is simple to learn and if done properly losing gear is at a minimum. This is great for the first timers or the less experience because it lets them spend more time fishing and less time tying up riggings. This system is also very productive if done properly and I have caught quite a few steelhead using this method myself. Using a slip bobber or float is one of the easiest ways to take steelhead that I have found for the bank fisherman this method is also used by boaters since it is so productive. With the slip bobber you are able to adjust the depth of your jig or bait so that it drifts just off the bottom of the river. I have seen this method used by fishermen fishing off of a jetty or pier and they too had very good success while using this method. One of the best place to use this method is in a slow flowing section of the river the depth of the hole is not important since you are able to adjust the depth....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is easier to discuss the times and places where jigs do not work well than it is to list all the times they will work. The steelhead jig relies mainly on color and action to trigger a strike. Therefore, you can expect them to perform poorly in low visibility water. When the visibility is less than two feet, it is time to switch to some other type of lure or bait. For similar reasons jigs do not work well in the fast pockets of water in the rivers. In almost every other steelheading water, jigs will prove to be deadly. Jigs come into their own in slow moving or still water. Which in my opinion is some of the hardest spots to fish for a steelhead with the conventional drifting techniques? With the wiggle of marabou or rabbit fur combined with a small dab of bait or scent, jigs are deadly. Jigs are the most effective steelhead lure you can use in slow or still water. Jigs also work well in moderate to fast currents as long as the water has good visibility. In clear water, nothing beats tiny jigs. When tipped with a single egg, a piece of earthworm, or a piece of shrimp they become deadly. In conditions most of us find ourselves fishing, the two to ten foot deep-water jigs work extremely well. Moreover, in a current that is moving at two to four knots the jig will prove to be irresistible to steelhead. As your....]]></description>
