I ...Thank you, Justin, for the so kind response....<br />I have no doubt that Pink would be a fine color for fishing Crappie and Bluegill. Sure should get their attention anyway!<br /><br />On another thought, don't know if you have any Steelhead water in your area, but, Idaho steelheaders have shown an interest in this pattern.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835446955779002002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-19241356315001188442015-11-24T07:38:42.827-07:002015-11-24T07:38:42.827-07:00Great looking jig, Mel!!

I work at the best I can and the fish seem to oblige me so it is a win-win situation. I look forward to the day that you give in and try some tying yourself. Catching fish on your own creations is very rewarding!<br /><br />They tell me this jig works here in Colorado for Crappie also....... I don't think we have the monster size you have back there, but, a fish is a fish!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835446955779002002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-25278048594399165662015-11-23T08:06:23.310-07:002015-11-23T08:06:23.310-07:00Mel

I have tied some for a few folks who think they are working just fine so that pleases me. I have not fished them at this point only tied them for others. However, as I stated in the response to RM Lytle, I believe that Hot Pink is a trigger color for fish. I will have to add it to some of my patterns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835446955779002002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-52109062500430364762015-11-22T06:31:37.669-07:002015-11-22T06:31:37.669-07:00Yup, it's time to start reloading at the vise,...Yup, it's time to start reloading at the vise, isn't it. I just got here from Howard's blog where I commented and find a good transition here, Mel. Way to go. That hot pink number looks deadly. I think you're right about that color being ovelooked at the vise. I'll be interested in knowing how it works!rivertoprambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049232742240328847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-45975815119401205952015-11-21T19:57:58.686-07:002015-11-21T19:57:58.686-07:00Rowan, I agree with comment.

Really hoping to have a very good winter tying season. From what I have been told by family and friends that have used the Hot Pink Icy Jig for Ice Fishing, it is an effective color that you should have in your ice fishing kit. I don't ice fish anymore, though over the years, I have done a bunch of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835446955779002002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-75501781985061310302015-11-21T19:47:02.662-07:002015-11-21T19:47:02.662-07:00Thank you, Alan, for the kind words on my Hot Pink...Thank you, Alan, for the kind words on my Hot Pink Icy. That was a "custom" tie for a group that know it is very effective on their waters.<br />Pink San Juan Worms should do just fine on any willing trout stream. I have not tied them in pink, so, thanks for the hint!

So, I wanted to say thanks Mark. Here is his comment,<br />"The Mt. Lassen Rainbows in Amador and Camanche love pink. They also love (5 lb.13 oz. on a white Crappie jig) jigs. A jig in pink, killer. If you've got a couple extra, send them my way and I'll give them a run since we're just beginning to fish downcountry."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835446955779002002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263271351559585674.post-53619533193716961622015-11-21T11:55:32.238-07:002015-11-21T11:55:32.238-07:00Gettin' jiggy right along with you Mel.
