Fishing Wyoming waters

Where Zig Jigs work in Wyoming

Wyoming is another state we fish. The North Platte River, especially the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef, holds big rainbows and browns. The Green River, the Snake River and Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Utah line round out some of the best trout water in the West.

Big western trout chase wounded baitfish, and that's what a Zig Jig looks like as it zig-zags on the fall. Fish a 1/8 or 3/16 oz in the rivers, and use a 1/4 to 1/2 oz Super HD for lake trout and big fish in deep water.

Why marabou

The best fishing lure for the drop

Marabou jigs are a favorite among anglers because their soft, flowing feathers create lifelike movement that mimics wounded baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes. Developed in Arkansas and perfected on the White and North Fork Rivers, Zig Jigs take this proven lure to the next level with a unique offset head that creates a natural zig-zag fall instead of dropping straight down.

This action keeps the jig in the strike zone longer and drives fish crazy. Hand-tied with premium marabou, a durable powder-coated head, and a sharp, extra-strong hook, Zig Jigs are proven to catch trout, walleye, crappie, and bass across the country.
