Mike is right - you have to be able to get a long cast in the ditch. Especially with jigs aka metal. to get to the deep wata you have to cast long and upcurrent in order for the jig to get down where the fish usually hold as the current carries the jig in front of you. Some even cast well over the 110 yard mark. Get there at false dawn and take lessons from the old timers.
