[#0000FF]The floating jig "fligs" are usually fished as a dropshot...to keep them above weeds or rocks. And (heaven forbid) I generally use them to present a half a crawler for walleyes, perch, trout, etc.
But...those foam cylinders are also nifty for making super float flies. I have made up some neversink hoppers, beetles and even moths...as in the attached pics. Seems like the big cutts at Strawberry gather around under the lights at the marina and wait for late summer moths to flutter down...to a splashy demise. Made these up special for an enterprising troutaholic. Said they work pretty fliggin' well.
