Tied a group of float-n-fly minnows this week. I plan to fish them in the local river this winter.
My favorite sage green craft fur forms the back of each jig. Barred-brown, grayish-white, and sparkling-tan fur comprises the bellies. Pearl, pearl red, or fluorescent fire orange krystal flash adds sparkle laterally along the sides of the jigs.
I wanted natural-looking minnows, so chose subdued colors with somewhat earthen tones. All jigs are tied on 1/16-ounce ball head jigs with #4 black nickel sickle hooks.
