First Blood - trip to blood that is...

[ULTRAlite]

First hardwater trip to Blood Indian of the season and had another fantastic day. Half day I should say, as we packed up and tried Carolside as well - see other thread. Lots of safe ice there now 12"+. Fished the south end, close to the dam. Had the most luck in 4' - 6' of water with brown, olive, and white feather jigs (looks kinda like a wooly bugger).

Thanks, I'm going to look for something close to those, and try them next time I go out, you know any bands that might carry what Im looking for?

[ULTRAlite]

You know any bands that might carry what Im looking for?

If you mean stores - unfortunately not. I started tying them because I used to be able to pick them up locally. The chap that did them stopped due to arthritis so I started doing it myself. If you are looking at tying some up yourself, let me know if you need any help.

Nice jigs! They would also work great for BC steelhead fished under a float.

Thanks, but I would try tying them my self right now, have you checked the fishin hole?

[ULTRAlite]

I checked way back when - but there may be something close now. At that time I had checked everywhere, short of buying them out of the states.

[riffer]

Yeah if I cant find any I will probably just order some from cabelas or bass pro.
