Prepping For Lake George, NY Summer 2025

If you’ve spent any time around me and my boat on Lake George, you would get an earful about just how dynamic the hair jig is on smallies (and lakers). I have the hair jig bite dialed on George, and over the last couple of years I’ve been sharing my secret with others. You can now buy my FWT hairjigs on my website.

What do I love most about fishing a hair jig? It has to be the way fish bite it - it’s never the same. I tell my clients that you set the hook on anything out of the ordinary. And honestly I probably catch my biggest fish every summer on this presentation! Pair it with the Douglas Outdoors XMatrix 7’6” ML spinning (DXS-76MLXF) and you are on your way to some amazing fishing.
