How many colors to you tye it in? I would think white and black would both be good and maybe a size 6 with yellow and olive alternated with red hackle and a light blue head for lakes with bass and bluegills.
Uncle J....as you can read in the article, the other options that work OK for me are...Black/ Red and Olive/ Orange. The first one is for the big browns at last light in the lakes, and the second one imitates the colors of a Pancora (freshwater crab). Good luck!
