Northwest Fishing Reports

I have been tying my own jigs for about 6 years now, mainly just because of the cost and i like my jigs fluffy. But my dad turned me onto these jigs during the summer and i freakin love them. They make some wierd looking Jigs but the functionality is awesome, espically on high pressure fish that have seen that bead head jig go by 100+ times. The "dingleberry" in pink is probably hands down my go to jig for the sky fishery and got me some lower Stilly steel this summer. The "roe bot" is another great jig for low water when a small jig is a must have. The "cotton tail" is a big fluffy (just how i like um) is great for colored water when you need a big profile, and the "bobble head" is deadly when tipped with firecure shrimp chunks. the hooks stay sharp and are super strong and the are pretty cheap compared to most jigs.

I have found these online and at Three Rivers Marine, and im working on getting the Triangle in SNoho to pick them up. Just grab a few, some 8# P-line CXX, and some Floats and ur ready for some steelheadin!

A little restock trip before I head up to the stilly thursday

i literally just picked up 5 dingle berries in pink and orange the other day, my buddy hit a few hogs last year on the dingleberry!

The dingleberry looks easy to make, either with a fluffy leech-style tail or an aero "twisty" tail.
I'll have a crack at it tonight.

the dingle part is almost like a piece of wire wrapped with some flashy dubbing wrapped around it.

It could just be a dubbing loop.
I tied an aero variation last night but it's still not quite right.

I'll bet it works just fine! 98% of it getting a little something in front of them. They eat darn near anything!

Pretty dang close!!! all i have is marabou but im gonna expand my supply selection and get a little more creative

OTE has quality jigs. I use the bare painted head version for pink worms. I don't have to worry about the paint scratching off & the gami hooks are strong & super sharp.

Do you guys do good on the bobble heads, just picked some up about a week ago in pink and chartreuse/orange.
Caught my first dolly in the sauk with a dingleberry jig but no steelhead yet.

i like tipping the bobble head with a chunk of shrimp, and its a deadly dolly jig. the bobble head and the dingle are my favorites

yeah those flex jigs pretty good, have you ever tried the dingle berry with the white head and pink body for steelhead or the jig with the rubber egg cluster in the middle, I have a couple those but never tried them but I will be using the bobbleheads soon.

A few of those jigs are killer on coho in these parts
