Just Jigging My Life Away...(Pic Heavy)

[Big Sky]

I haven't been to this forum for a while, but it's more because I've been busy fishing than anything else. So here are a few highlights from Southern Utah.

Gorgeous tiger trout. While not the biggest I have caught I'm going to say it's the prettiest.


On this same trip as the tiger trout above, I caught my first Colorado Cutthroat. This was caught in Southern Utah, the species is called Colorado Cutthroat. Stunning fish!


Next up a darn nice 24" rainbow.


Lest anyone think I can only catch trout on a jig...


Another feisty one.


Short and chunky.

Great colors and bizarre body shape on that cutthroat!

I would say you have them figured out!

OUTSTANDING!
Gota love a smallmouth on a jig.
We get catfish and pike on jigs too.
I even got a huge Burbot ( Ling) in the midday with a white twister tail jug and a bit of crawler.

Beautiful colors on all of those fish. In Iowa What we call tiger trout are a cross between brook trout and brown trout. Same in Utah?

Beautiful fish indeed! A jig in the right hands is deadly as you have shown. It seems like a simple presentation but it is a nuanced art form.
