Hey Gang, back for tying season...

Big thanks to Keith for helping me work through size and style, for the type of fishing I do.

mostly palmered marabou, with some Zonkers and Flash tied on the bigger boys.

1/16 oz, 60* #6 VMC
1/8 oz 60* #6 VMC
3/16 oz 60* #4 VMC
3/16 oz 60* #2 Ultra point 2x bent out to 75*

Looks like they work.

Is that a couple strands of silicon hair in the last one?

Yep forgot to mention that.

Great job of palmering, looks like your set and looks like they work!

Nice jigs!

Red spot browns are so purty. Didya get to test your jigs & skills in the big trout tailwaters?

Any favorite tie colors?

Thanks again for the winter upper little lake tip. A nice fatty tugging is a great cure for cabin fever.

Nice ties - good trout mix colors

oh yeah.

1/8 oz Marabou only, Brown/Rust and straight Black are were the best producers... for twitching in most waters.

3/16 oz Zonker/Silcone/Marabou, Brown/char proably got the most strikes of the large jigs. Was shocked the Brown/purple didn't produce better. But I also didn't get as much time on Large water as I had hoped.

below is the best trout of the year... 22"...fell to an 1/8 oz Brown/Rust

Beautiful jigs AND fish! Does look a bit cold, but those fish would warm you up quick. Love the flow of the rabbit hair. I would also 2nd the hook/head recommendations made by Hawnjigs, he knows his stuff and makes some high quality product.

Holy sheet, I didn't know CO brownies got that fat! Interesting spot - don't think I've ever seen such a sharp bend on a bar. Is that a flow gauge in the background? Great pic showing the freeze line.

Purple has a following, but don't see it much if any in trout forage. Then again troos isn't natural, & its become my go to in the
Sutherland-Maloney canal.

Oh my gosh! I saw these and 5 min later I order the Bat mold. I'm going to tie a few of these and head off for some rainbows in Feb. Theses are stunning my friend, I can hardly wait to get them in the water.
