    Some good looking jigs. My vote is for the one on the top left too.

    Since you are leaning gray thought I would tell you about one of my customers that had an order a couple weeks back. Out of 5 colors he got a dozen each color and only the all blue jig had a tail color other than gray so I think he must do well with that.

    When going natural (and in somewhat clear water) I think gray is a real good choice.

    Well it's time to tell the tale. Hit the water early(before the sun) on a rare morning for me. I usually don't fish the days I have to work but the weather is cold, windy and spittin rain as predicted so it was a good choice. I started out with the gray with black hackle. Caught 1 or 2 but not real hot action. Went to one with a splash of red, about the same story. Now the one voted most favored (basic gray) produced as y'all said it would. A fish on each of the first 3 casts, and several more after that. Gave one away to an old gent I met, said it looked good and then asked me what to do with it. Oh well, I tried. I went to a basic black/chart number and did as well as the gray. When I tried one with chartreuse tail and hackle, and black chenille it only produced 1 fish. My guess is that some days they like the slow, fluffy fall of the hackle jigs and some they don't. Worked good last trip, I'll try it again in a while. Had 9 good keepers to finish the day, and the water was like a mirror for hours. Check out my post" A few pics" on the main forum. 2 of those were shot that day. Thanx for all the response.
    Wake me up early,
    Be good to my dogs,
    and teach my children to pray.

    Can't wait to see how you tie those. I want to take a stab at it myself.

    Gray has been good for me this year in the snake River . Gray and brown are my favorite colors to use.
