[#0000FF]Yes. If you have some small 1/32 oz. jigs, put them on a six inch dropper...about 12 to 14 inches above a split shot. Try varying the distance until you find the magic length. Black usually works but something with peacock is often better. And even chartreuse can work well when there is some color in the water.

[#0000FF]In the fast runoff water look for the fish right in the seam between faster flow and slower...or even in swirling eddies next to heavy flows.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Besides browns, I have caught some girthy rainbows and plenty of alligator whitefish too. The key is to keep your stuff near the bottom...with a tight line...to feel any takers. And if you are bouncing downstream you won't need any "indies" (indicator/bobbers). You will know when your offerings have been accepted.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]By the way, I have also done well on size 12 to 16 renegade dries...fished bouncer style. Silly fish sometimes don't seem to notice they are not an aquatic thing. And that combo of peacock, tan and white is a good one for most trout.
