Marabou jigs in browns, black, greens, and combos are good. 1/16 or 1/8 oz. You can also use the same flies that the fly fisherman are using, nymps and streamers, just use a split shot, drop shot, or sand bag weight in front. A sand bag rig with the sinker on a dropper above the fly is deadly and allows you to use two flies and fish the small nymphs and San Juan worms that alot of the fly fishers use. Check with the guys at Fish Tech for patterns and for the Sand bags. You can make your own using parachute cord, strip out the center, put #10 or 12 shot in the bag and heat seal by using a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the end of the bag, flame with a lighter, add the shot and flame the other end. Attach to your rig by using a plain ol snap swivel, run the open end of the snap through the cord below the heat seal. Very snagless !!!
