Basic Great Lakes Maggot Rig What You Need: Leadhead jig 2 to 3 feet of mono leader Barrel swivel Bobber Split shot 3 live waxworms How to Fish: 1. Know the depth of the water you're fishing, and fish at the depth where the fish are most likely to lie by adjusting the length of line between jig and cork. In general, fish will be holding near the bottom. 2. Adjust the weight of the jig and amount of weight on the line to reflect current speed. The faster and/or higher the water, the more weight you need. 3. Also adjust the size of the jig to reflect turbidity-i.e. If the water is cloudy, a larger jig is easier for the fish to see. 4. Experiment and adjust until your jig drifts just above the bottom, where it no longer ticking off rocks. How to reach Jim Lyon Jim Lyon runs Slim Jim Guide Service from October through May.
