Odd color

Went early and stayed til 9, had things to do. We always talk of the jigs we tie that we pass by, overlook, don't think they'll work, or just sit in the box. A while back I took a 4'9" u/l rod and tiny reel and put 2lb diameter braid on it for throwing smalls. It had a brown chenille/brown maribouw/pearl crystal flash on the end when it came out of the rod box. Caught 25 or so today and 20 came on that little brown jig. Whoda thunk:confused:? Of course I'll be tying more. Had a great morning:D, posted some pics on the main forum. Thanx for lookin.

It's always good to get confidence in another color because then you just have more go to colors and a better chance one will work.

Good for you,

Skip

As an after though I wanted to show you these a guy had me tie for him. He said he wanted the bright one and I was to make the rest for bluegills and I really liked the top left one with a brown head and a craw brown body of Buggy Yarn with a burnt orange tail. The more I look at it the more I like it. I have been tying that Buggy Yarn for a few years now and like it more and more. You can pick it to make it look more buggy too.

If you want to see it here it is...

Nice ponies Skip. Size of the jig was small too, might have been part of the deal. Ultra lite bites, barely saw the rod tip move. Only felt about 5 or 6 hits. 41 degree water I guess that's about normal.

I got Crazy Angler to get me some more since I didn't have all I wanted and I think he decided to stock it. So ask Robert and I am pretty sure he has some. It is really small stuff, but after it's tied you can pick it with something like you would do dubbing and make it more buggy. I put a double wrap on the 1/32 oz. Roadrunners you see.

Yeah that is going to be a killer here on T-Bend I feel sure. I like it, but also think that one with the Turquoise is going to be good too. I have been told that that color is the best seen there is, but I can't prove that, but also who and I to argue with a guy that is responsible for colors at a major wholesale business? That blue is another guys turquoise, the one we are calling blue and look pretty blue to me too. The green tinted one is called Whitlock's Turquoise and he is somewhat a famous guy in fly fishing circles.
