Some chronies I have been fiddling with

[32-40win]

Hopefully this weekend I'll get to try some of these. Mostly black, wine or olive spanflex, red microglint or wire, whatever tread turns my crank at the moment, some UTC70 or Veevus 10/0 or 14/0, various types of flashabou or holo on them. Even tried a couple of threadless ones, although I kinda cheated and used some red wire on the one. And first efforts of learning how to take pics of the l'il boogers.
That is a learning curve as well.

and some more. I will get this all figured out eventually.

Those all look like theyd slay.

Bear in mind that colours will disappear as you go deeper in the water starting with red at about 15 feet (varies with water clarity) in the ROYGBIV order.

Those look nicer than mine though

Bro am pretty sure none of those flies will work. You can send me some and all try them for you but am sure they wont work. (whistles softly)

you need more blacks with white beads. Size 18 to 12-- 3 X long or same hooks you are using. Also you need chromies with thin red rib and some with a thin black rib.

From my experience with truglo pins, which are only in red, green and yellow, the yellow is the last to go and the first one to pickup light. Green is not far behind it, red is not much good in low light, with those at least.

I tied lots of black & reds there Bjay, with and without beads, gunmetal, black spanflex with red holographic, red hooks, gunmetal tungsten, hotspots and various other shades of black & red. Did a bunch of green,brown, yellow, even some orange ones, think I did blue ones too. Various coloured beads, buzzer styles, peacock herl collars, flashbacks.
I do refuse to tie smaller than 16 though.

Now all I need is for my farkin ankle to heal up, then I can get out and use some of them. Playing with balanced leeches now, waiting for hooks, should have those tomorrow. Once I get those, I'll try some deceivers and clousers on those as well.
Hopefully, next weekend I'll be able to trust my ankle enough to get into a boat safely. No way I am going near a river, for another couple or three weeks.
