If the dark avacado is working for you there is chenille that will allow you to tie some with the colors your talking about! From olive to Peacock Green which is very dark. Add a Chartreuse tail and you have your jig! Make as many as you want in any weight you want! I do know some guys that love the Olive body or Olive and Red body with a Chart tail!

I've had pretty good luck on Rayburn using Monkey Milk. Been kinda hit or miss though.

That's my 3 cents on it ....

How small Outlaw? 32nd or even smaller?

When you guys say Monkey Milk, just what color is that? I tried looking that up and seems there is no single look for it? I am curious.

Basically pearl white w/ black flake. I've poured some of my own and used moss green flake instead.

I have been doing well in several spots with 1/32 tandems and even a 1/64 single Saturday on dock poles .....look at the water around the cover and note the balls of fry ....I have never seen so much fry this time of year and it's everywhere I hit ....I like bright colors right now due to fairly turbid late summer water colors .

Now that ya'll mention it, I have seen a lot of small fry in the water. But the fish seem to be pretty deep this time of year. Hard to fish the small jigs at 20+ feet of water.
