I would try some small 1/64 buggy looking in black and brown. For a backup I would try all white or all chartruse.

Have a lake nearby that is pretty clear...3-4' minimum, not sure on a max as I haven't fished it much, but they can be very finicky fish. What color jigs would you start throwing at them?

1/32 oz. beetle with a red spot. Not sure why the red spot makes a difference, but it sure seems to. Watermellon or pumpkinseed colors sometimes work, but are hit and miss.
Microspoons makes a mini spoon in black that i find is hard to beat for the gills and redears. I tip with a nibble when the bite slows down. We've caught and released over 200 gills in a day using them near docks and weedlines. Got these at ky lake last week.

Peacock with a short red tail! Look up Crazy Angler's "Brim Buster" I think is what it's called. Dark brown/dark green with copper flash.
A hares ear jig would be another one to try.
something flashy, but not bright.
Hey Chaunc, how about a report. How deep etc. I usually fish Sledd Creek. On stake beds?
