And Nancy says thanks for leaving that big fella.
I bought a package of 5 fligs at Anglers Den last week just to give them a try. Intention was to use them for the whites. We had done well in the past with small jig heads, tied directly to our light lines, cast and retrieved slow, letting them pause and bounce the bottom when we fished American Fork.
So I rigged a flig on my light line Saturday and followed the basic instructions on the back of the card. Put 2 small crimp on weights about a foot up the line from the flig. Started out with a flig and a white curly tail Gulp Grub. Had almost instant hits by whities on every other cast. Then a large female Cat took one. I got her to the net and in the boat OK, but was prying my line wouldn't break. Another Cat just a short time later wasn't so generous. Sucked up the flig and grub, ran with it, then did a hard 180 and came back at the boat. I couldn't reel fast enough to keep the line tight and she got to about 2 feet from the boat, showed me her mouth with flig well hooked in the side of her mouth, then ran the line under the boat and snapped it off.
So now that I've tried fligs, I guess I'll have to go shopping at the TudeDude FLIG store and get a selection of them, various sizes and colors. [

Oh, yea, thanks for the travel instructions and the Lindon intel. It has made some nice improvements since the last time I was there.
