Playing with Boa Yarn Leech colors

[FishnDave]

After fishing last night, I got home and decided to tie up some more different colors. Plus some old standby's. Rather than reorganize my fly boxes, I think I will take the lazy route and just start a new one.

Clearly I still need better lighting at my tying desk. The colors of these flies seems a bit washed-out...


I'll describe the colors, since they are hard to differentiate here. Starting from the 6 o'clock position and proceeding clockwise...
-Black head with "sour apple" tail. Sour Apple is sort of like a slightly faded lime/chartreuse
-Yellow. King of the boa yarn leech colors, especially for night fishing.
-I combined Yellow and Sour Apple, to see what that would look like. Its also extra-full, so this should be great at night.
-Solid Sour Apple with some pearl mylar tail. Just got this Sour Apple color recently, so haven't fished it yet. Looking forward to it. Its close to chartreuse.
-I tipped the tail with Sour Apple, and then wound the rest with the green from the Mallard boa yarn color that Bernat manufactured.
-Sage. Another new-to-me color.
-Brown. This particular brand/skein is longer than most boa yarn. Should flow nicely. Looking forward to trying this too.
-Two-tone Orange. The orange has worked well for me in certain waters for bluegills. This is from the Bernat "Tweety Bird" boa yarn.
-In the center....White tail, pink head. Hey, pink& white twister-tail jigs or tube jigs were great crappie lures for me with spinning gear, so this should work too. The pink also came from the Tweety Bird boa yarn.
