Between Rocky and Drayton there should be a few trout and rockies to be caught in the river too. Bounce the bottom with white flies for the rockies. Spinners, spoons and 2" or 3" rapalas (trout color) might get you a trout.
As for jig heads, use the smallest lead head possible and the rubbertail will swim and react better than just dropping to the bottom. A small leadhead jig without the rubbertail and just a minnow through the eyes is great. If you are using bigger minnows add a a small stinger hook to the minnow.
Downstream from Drayton there are some big pike too.
