I've been filling in the time tying Muddler Minnows and Woolly Buggers. It's fall and the smallies are getting active in the streams. Boy those Muddlers take me a lot of time to tie.
I'll be ordering some banana jigs this week. I don't paint them, I tie them.
Scuds are my other favorite for the hardwater. I call these Crystal Flash Scuds
Try putting a bit of a tail on those Fry jigs.
