Well, sort of.

I've been playing with a warm water variation of the czech nymphing technique.

Heavy jig type fly with a baitfish pattern about 12 inches above it (both weedless).

Long, level leader that's about 1 1/4-1 1/2 the rod length.

Fish with the fly line just out the rod tip. End Quote.

I watched the TV Show "Hunt For Big Fish" today and Larry Dahlberg was short lining jig head Zonkers for Pike in Saskatchewan Canada. It was early in the season and it was the only method that worked because the Pike were lock jawed.
