I am new to this forum and freshly returned to BC from a 12 Year exile in Alberta. We would travel back to the vedder each year in October to chase fish around and try to drown ourselves getting over log jams without losing what we were sure was a record chinook :lol: . Saw lots of people flossing over the years and lots of others drifting roe bags with lots of lead on. I was pretty interested in the jigging idea as an alternative to streamer fishing runs with a flyrod, but it seems to me that given the weight on the jig, the angle of rod to line and the retrieve process it really is not much different than flossing. You are putting your jig on the bottom of the river across the pool were you think or know the fish to be and then swinging your line and jig through the pool essentially. Granted you are using a jigging motion to retrieve but really its swinging down stream as it goes. Im not judging just questioning because i really like fishing the vedder but it seems most of the techniques are the same just presenting a slightly different product. If you find this inflamatory please dont reply I could care less about the argument but would appreciate the discussion. Thanks
