  Welcome to our site rayford. So you want to catch a steelhead on jigs, huh? Good choice as they work great. I prefer to go with the smallest jig I can get away with to match the water conditions. In the winter on smaller rivers that will most likely be the 1/8 oz jig. I will also go down to 1/16 oz or up to 1/4 oz depending on water depth, speed and clarity. I seldom go to any color other than pink for winter fishing. If you are not having success finding fish with jigs, I would suggest working more on finding water that is well suited for jig fishing, slower moving water with some kind of structure close by, rather than the type or size jig you are using. Presentation is much more important than color or size. Get a jig  in front of a fish and you will soon find hookups. Good luck.
