Bobber and Jig set up for Steelhead in the Columbia River

[ndn]

I am looking for advice on how to rig and fish for Steelhead using a bobber jig set up.

Thank You

Where on the Columbia are you going to be fishing?

Some floats have weights printed on them, that weight refers to what it will float best with. For instance, lets say you use a 3/8oz float - you could then use a 1/4oz weight and a 1/8 oz jig under it (1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8)

Here is a the basic setup (I cannot be credited for this pic, it was posted a few years ago and is how I 1st learned how to set up a float & jig) though I have never actually used the wrap around type floats, only the one that run the line down the center and either bobber stops or toothpics to hold em at depth.....

I would like to try the mouth of the Methow for Steelhead and also fish for triploids near the net pens on Rufus Woods.

I figured I would try this setup with a black jig for Rufus the next time I go, let us know how it works out!

I've had good luck with black and white and purple and white in both locations. On the Methow tipped with shrimp.

Thanks for the info so far.

When anchored, do You cast upstream and let it drift downstream or do you cast and leave it downstream?

Cast up and let it float down.
