Your favorite rig for the NSR in Edmonton

[NSR Monger]

Just wondering what everyone's most successful NSR rig is.

[Lornce]

No flies on there so I'm out.

[sureshot]

I don't use any of those I tie my own hooks.

Didnt even think of that!! my bad...... :scared0018:

[jamieishere]

I tie my own hooks aswell seems more stealthy then others. One on the bottom hoping for a sturgon and one about 2 feet up for anything else haha

Andy

[NSR Monger]

[jamieishere]

Nothing fancy. I just tie my own snell hooks using gamakatsu #1 or 1/0 octopus hooks and 40lb berkley big game mono. And make my own fluro leaders.

go into the shallows and build a funnell out sticks pushed into the river bottom. place a 110 or 120 conibear into the opening. for those that dont want to spend that much time making a set, just put a gob of worms or minnows on the trigger. if there are big pike in the area, use a 160 conibear.

Small Black Jigs :p

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

None of the above , unless im dragging a jig along bottom in the fall for fat walleyes .

Other wise I use this .

Top Pictures are spinners ,
Bottom Picture , Bait rig , kind of like a lindy rig minus a few componants of a lindy rig but ment for Sturgeon .

[NSR Monger]

cool, didnt realize those were spinners, (laugh at me now) never tried them before, what species in the river do you have best success with those? Is the only difference with a bait rig and a lindy rig, the lindy rig swivel and a different hook?

[linemanpete]

BBJ, you casting those spinners upstream into the current or downstream with the current? Never thought of throwing those in the river, just don't want a huge tangled mess by throwing it wrong.

[NSR Monger]

had a feeling p-rigs would have an edge

I only River fish for Walleye and Sturgeon , catch the odd sucker to though . But where I catch the suckers and Walleye is where I catch the sturgeon . I to actually use a different hook to but you get the idea . Its all about try try try until you perfect it . Ask Geezle and them guys , Ive taught them boys all the tricks Ive learned from over the years , doubt they'll share , but the key is your set up most definitely . And a proper setup really helps . I might get made fun of for running , Steel head gear but I dont care , I want to get that fish hooked , and released in a timely manor , not let em fight so I got to revive em for 20 minutes .

I rock salmon/steelhead gear on the river too...the only time I'll make fun of ya for it is when you try to use it in a boat! ;) :lol:

[Geezle]

I've also got a lot of fish out of the NSR on rattlin' raps, or similar lipless rattling cranks :)
