There is some very good advice here.
One extremely effective way to fish a jig is to sight fish and cast the jig upstream of the fish and let it drift down past them. If they do not hit it as it goes by, slowly work it back up past the fish and jig it just in front of the fish and let it drift back down past them again. Sometimes this spooks the fish and if that is the case this technique is not going to work, but if the fish stand their ground and don't back away too much or at all, keep jigging it up past them and try to keep it in their face. Sooner or later one of the fish will get angry and attack it. Bingo, the game is on. I watched a guy do this one day down on Walnut and he had at least 4 or 5 fish on and landed in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes. It was amazing. He really put on a clinic that morning.
Good luck.
