The two single biggest steelhead I’ve ever caught excluding a big Alaskan fish back in ’95 have come on Cascade Jigs…a custom tie company owned by Daniel Cox. I’ve been lucky enough to fish Dan’s jigs since 2009 and they never let me down. Although I’ve had amazing production on one jig in particular….I’ve always wanted to try a variety of his work in order to accommodate varying water conditions. For example; I knew that Dan was hammering summer fish in low water with micro jigs….and that he was nailing fall chinook with his specified ‘King Style’ jigs as well. And if you read this site then you know I’m a big fan of nightmare patterns….so Dan punched out some wicked nightmares for me to sink under a float as well. My 21.22lb winter fish this year was taken on a peach schlappen cascade that I slightly modified with a small peach worm tail. Dan saw that and pounded some out imitating that modification by adding a saddle hackle tail that is to die for. Check out some of Dan’s patterns and give him a call to order yours today. Make sure you mention All Around Angler.com as your reference.
Dan also makes some custom, ball bearing in line sinkers that I will feature in another post. To reach Dan and discuss your needs….Please call him at 971-222-6299.

I love to see Legacy TS tear it up on a river that has been captured by quite a few Winter anglers.
