Ran across a weird laker set up kind of by accident. Had a flasher and salmon fly hanging straight down in the water near the bottom as The boat was a-drift and we were dealing with a tangle and reel malfunction on the other side of the boat on the other rod. So my buddy is unravelling line I'm holding his rod and out of the corner of my eye I see my rod double over with a fish on .....
I guess the boat was pitching with the waves (causing the flasher and fly) to become a jig ......
Reeled up a 7-8 laker.
When lakers are active - proves they will hit just about anything.
I tried using a micro flasher occasionally when jigging deep for lakers with a smaller (but heavier lure) below - sometimes it works better than anything else - often times it doesn't work at all - I guess it depends on the mood of the fish.
