Question:
Hi Brad, I recently started twitching for salmon.
I live close to Vancouver Canada.
Favourite area I fish is right at the mouth of a small river that run into the Ocean.
Conditions-
Need to cast across 20 feet of silt mud into shallow trough of water 20 wide
Trough depth when tide in 10 ft.
Water outside of trough 5 ft
Was thinking of #2 black and white dolly lama, perhaps a #4
Are the jigs heavy enough to cast that far?
What colours and sizes would you recommend?
Thank you George Plain
Answer:
Hi George,
Thank you for the inquiry. The #2 Llamas tend to be a little on the light side to cast on a spinning rod w/o adding some additional weight. Here guys will run them with slip weights so that they can easily adjust the weight from butting up against the LLama (jigging) or 12-15″ up for crawling them along the sandy bottoms of some of our estuaries. The other thing the gear guys do is fish the #2 under a slip float and drifting them in the tidal current.
Hope this helps,
Mike
