Been hearing all the reports about schooling I had heard enough. I figured with the rain an the cloud cover it would be pretty good. Left the dock about 6:15 took about 20 mins to find once I found them in the mid lake area it was on. They stayed up for about 25 mins . Got 7 in the boat all keepers back at the dock by 7:15. My buddy next to me cought one about 12 lbs.

Good catch!
How do you rig a double fluke rig? I can kind of see something in the pic, but can’t make it out. I’ve always just fished with a single.

Blue is the main line
Green is the top line that just moves up an down
Orange the bottom line
Green leader is like 1 ft
Orange is like 1.5 or 2
I like to have a 7inch fluke in the bottom

Thats a good way to rig them. I have never seen that method. I rig mine by tying the first hook on and leaving a 18-20" tag line off the knot then tie the 2nd hook onto the tag. But I only use this method using straight braid no mono. My method doesn’t work with mono. The back hook will break off using mono.

Weston’s rig is the same way we rig a jig and ice fly. Very effective!

Ok, I’ve got that part. Now, where do you find the 7" flukes? I’m always on the look out when I go to Sportsman’s Warehouse, But all I can find are the smaller ones.

Richard has some up at lake world bob. He has the 3-4" “baby flukes”, 5" super flukes and the 7" magnum flukes… dont be afraid to use a big hook in those flukes. Just my .02 I use a 4/0 in the 5".
The diameter of the wire of a 3/0 vs a 4/0 is night and day. I have bent many 3/0’s but cant budge a 4/0+
