    Default Best crappie jig color combinations


    Hi folks.

    I am an avid trout angler who lives in the north and who also enjoys ice fishing for crappies in the winter. I tie my own trout flies so I was thinking of tying up a bunch of small jigs for crappies this winter. I'll probably use tiny lead heads, chenille and various hairs and fur.

    About color though, I was just wondering - if you could only have one color combination - what would it be? It doesn't matter if you ice fish or not, I'd really appreciate knowing what your favorite/ultimate color combo is.

    Most of the lakes I ice fish have water that has a brownish stain to it, but a couple are quite clear as well.

    Thanks for the suggestions and help.

    Default colors

    Orange/Chart with a plain head. They will hit other colors at times but this is always the best combo on my home lake.

    Brown and White buckhair with a little flashaboo and peacock feather.

    Black/chartreuse in Texas, atleast on Somerville. Hot pink with just about anything is a good second choice. Can't help with the trout, either.

    The blue/chart or the orange/chart would be the one for stained water. The white/black for clear water.

    If you ever come south Keith, you better pack a bigger box cause we have stumps and snags.
