well for me it all depends on the water conditions clear water i like to use firetail nightmare and a blue chinookie,
and for semi murky water ill use a steelhead eye candy witch is pink and a sand shrimp which is orange.
and on nasty water conditions ..................well **** it i dont really fish........if i do i will plunk close to the shore.
rippin lips and kickin ass is what im about!!!!!!

My favorite color for steelhead is when they are mostly silver with just a blush of a pink stripe on their side. The gill plate has a deeper rosy pink blush than the stripe. Beautiful creation. :geek:

Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

I've been fishing the Sky on the bank every weekend for the last few months and I still cannot find many fish or these holes you speak of. :( You really got it dialed in.

Been tasting the Sky:chef: since 1968 first on intertubes:colors: floating the upper of course before safety and care:colors: .
Then 6 drift boats and now on my 3rd sled but have hiked every seam and turned every rock and If I see a see a person I press deeper and farther when my health and lack of supports that.:eye:
Biggest lesson to learn to be a fish Hog or trophy hunter nature and humans dont support the same soil.:cheers:
To be a angler not just a fisherman you must earn it and many days we hiked 6-8 miles to get 2 fish and with much risk.:brilsmurf :bigsmurf:
Nerve damage know limits my hikes but I still stay away from the cupcakes and I have over 10 frosty holes in the upper river my holy waters that only get touched by 2 - 7 guys all week unlike the mid and lower that is pounded by hundreds daily#-o :-$ :-&
Tight Lines fish on = the upper is the (gift):bounce: the lower is a boat ride after December 31st!:cheers:
Groups and rigs I never even look:-$ AND DONT THINK THERE IS NOT PIGS IN THE SKY THIS CHROME MONSTER UPPER SKY BUCK CAME IN AT (26.6 LBS):cheers: and TAKEN IN JAN WITH PINK YARN RED GAMA AND A NIGHTCRAWLER:colors: AND 45 MINUTES TO BEAT HIM ON 10 lb Maxima Clear!:compress:

That fish was caught on the Sky this summer. The fish I caught before the floods was a cookie cutter summer run.
