I'm open to any suggestions, still have a month or 2 at least till ice out.

Which do you think I should go with?

Number 4 all the way! You are on the right track with that one and I guarantee that. Is that the powder blue chenille? I have a lot of that color, but is still new to me and my main color blue that I use is the Copenhagen Blue and if I want a dark blue I use Soldier Blue. Now I have like 6 different blue chenille's, but the two I mentioned are my favs.

I guess the only difference in that one and mine is I powder paint my heads silver4 for that.

Please forgive the pic with a card in it, but it was the easiest to find. The jig at the top left is my main clear water with the sun out jig. Also the one with a FL Yellow Body and blue tail is a great color and seems to catch bigger fish for some reason.

Yes that is hackle and more specific it's strung neck hackle which is a lot different than saddle hackle or stuff used for dry flies.

Thank you!

Also you guys don't over look that little funny looking one with the white head and big black eyes as it is a killer!

Skip, yes it is the "powder" blue, not baby blue like I called it. I orig was thinking it was called baby powder blue... realized baby powder isn't quite blue (duh) and went with baby blue. I hope to get some new picts of these tonight after work, they just don't look the same on this screen as they did on my screen at home. I think I need more light on them...

Thanks All!! :)

I like the idea of having a two tone chenille body. I hadn't seen it very much either, so that's why my contribution to jig swap #5 has black/orange/black for the body.

I had Danville make me some that is variegated using Copenhagen blue and soldier blue for a different blue. However I think I still like them both separate.

Also with the tail I think most use the Kingfisher blue and I like the Silver Doctor Blue my self best.
