Nope, not at all, they are tossing 1/8 and 1/4 ounce jigs with spey rods. Single hook, pointing up. And I am not bashing anyone for using jigs while fly fishing, but just telling the story around here. -- One reason Paul caught more fish than anyone else was that he had his flies in the water more than anyone else. "Brother," he would say, "there are�no flying fish in Montana. Out here, you can't catch fish with your flies in the air." "A River Runs Through It"
