Willard has been good to me.

I made my second trip to Willard today, the first trip was 2 weeks ago. Usually in March, a fishing trip to Willard means warming up the boat and burning out the cobwebs and not catching anything. This year has been a pleasant surprise with the first trip yielding 5 cats and today's trip netted 8 whiskery friends.
I launched at the North Marina at 11 a.m., winds were light, sunshine was warm, and bugs were few, a perfect day to use vacation time.
Today I started in the Northeast corner with some new flig patterns. Golden carp tipped with sucker produced 2 cats and cotton candy with fillet-o-perch caught one. When the bite stopped I relocated to freeway bay and switched both rods to my new gizzard shad flig and sucker meat. Five more kitties found the net by 4 p.m. when I was tired of fighting the wind and called it a day.
All 8 were cookie cutters and fought quite well in 48 degree water, all were given CPR since I still have 2 left from my first trip. With this year starting so well I can't wait to see what summer brings.

Can you buy flig jigs or do you guys make them?

Flig is my cutesy term for "floating jigs".  There are several sizes and colors available at tackle outlets.  They were originally designed for fishing worms or minnows (or plastics) for walleyes.  I started making my own a long time ago and have posted some "how to" stuff on the board.  The original poster (thatchergreg) has started making his own and is doing very well at it.

We have both come up with some original sizes, shapes and colors that work especially well in Utah waters.  I don't know about Greg, but I do make extras and have been known to part with a few for a modest price.  If you can't find what you are looking for online or at one of the local outlets, you would be welcome to visit my playroom and look over my collection.
