Re: [VFB] Jigs for flyfishing

[Deb Duran]

Kevin There is nothing wrong with thinking outside the box!!!   I have friends that make their own jigs with molds.   I don't go that far.  I would use the Czech nymphs.  They look like a lot of fun.  The only thing that would keep me from using a heavier jig on my rod is my casting ability.  I don't use a lot of clousers yet.  I tie them for friends but I know I would probably break my rod if I used them myself.  If I listened to all the negative comments I got when I started tying I wouldn't be where I am today in my tying.  I still get some funny comments from my flies.  If anything they just pushed me to tie even better and have more fun with them.   I know they're getting noticed.

I personally have several flies tied on jigs. I use 1/100th and 1/80 ounce on my 6'6" 3 wgt. and have no problems casting them. I also have some 1/64 th ounce that I use with my 7 wgt. I see nothing wrong with using an item that is not a "standard" in the fly fishing world. Kevin
