Could have been a coupla' factors at play:
- water was dirty from all of yesterday's rain
- drift was real fast, outgoing water + W wind, fluke bites were 'one & done' - no 'come-on backs'
- the pinhooker working the river over the last two weeks (500 pounds per day) clobbered them

It was good to bounce the jigs again
Dan.....fyi
