Cool thanks guys. Any favorite colors/patterns? Pics are always handy
Judman,
As for favorite jig color/patterns it really depends on the time of year, water conditions and a bunch of other variables. What works in one area may not work as well in others.
For rainbows in my area orange/browns usually work well. Some days olive/tans or olive/browns work well. Cutts seem to favor white or green/white ime. Browns seem to like anything natural that is not too flashy or disco - black, browns, purple, olives, white even yellows. We have a few runs of steelhead here though I've never targeted them (small window in different sections), they say cerise/white works well.
Talked a fly fishing buddy into trying jigs and whatta ya know?
Hint, always pay attention to those folks and what they're using.
