Olive jigs

either a black head or a charteruse head on olive bodies are great. in wv mountains we use the charteruse head one and its called a green hornet

The olive color and Pup's post about making a baby bass jig got me remembering......

The first time i ever caught crappie from a certain small 25 acre lake was by catching small baby bass (olive/white in color ) and putting them back on a hook and casting them out under a bobber. I was actually hoping to catch a big ol' bass because I kept seeing the schools of baby bass trying to leap from the water to avoid getting eaten. The bass fry were everywhere and happy to feed on anything that hit the water. I tied a #12 small dry fly about 2" above a treble hook and would snag bass fry when needed. That was without a doubt the day i got hooked on crappie.......

Come to think of it, I need to tie me some jigs in olive!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - PBUG2009, you need to post a pic of the jig in your avatar, looks like one sweet a$$ jig!
