The Marabou was donated by this handsome fellow...

any guesses as to what the "mystery Marabou" is?

"Mystery" Marabou...what do you think? Yay or Nay?

We timed out trip perfect! or we just got really lucky! The lake was really moving Tuesday afternoon/evening especially with the rains. The fish I caught Saturday-Tuesday were puking up everything from scuds to sculpins and one was puking up sweet corn!

Thanks! Your reports encouraged me to start tying jigs for trout fishing! I pitched a bunch of jigs and that was the only fish I caught, it was easier to sit on the dock and visit while the power bait soaked! Glad a jig landed a good one!

It was a toad. I have no idea on the weight but it was as wide as 2x6 it was laying on in the pic. Any thoughts in weight? I am thinking right around 3 lbs. Maybe a tad more. It was a blast on my UL and 2 lb test!

Dang auto correct! I meant to start off by saying "I spun up some jigs"

I sound up some jigs for this years annual trip down to Tanneycomo. Second cast not a bad fish! Catching some nice bows as well on power bait. Size is definitely up from last year.

This is good news! I am headed down the 13th-16th and am hoping the water isn't screaming so I can fish off of the docks!

Thanks! I think I am set, still might spin up a few more!

These reports are killing me! I can't wait to get down there in a couple of weeks! Phil if you had to suggest 3 or 4 jig color combos what would they be for the middle of June?

Well I will be fishing LONG before I make it down there! Just have to deal with walleyes, crappies and gills until I get down there! After school we are going to check to see if the ponds have cleared off around here!

Thanks! I will probably just keep tying with what jigs I can pour. And yes I really enjoy tying! I am not worried about having too many jigs, I plan on fishing them on my home waters for panfish, bass and eyes. I have a feeling most of these combos will cross species borders! Thanks again guys I am really anxious to get down there! Only 3 more months...

There in lies my problem as well, I my mold doesn't have a 3/32nd slot. I am I going to be missing out by jumping from 16th straight to 8th oz jigs? I have a source for some if needed I can purchase them.

Some that I have made include the following marabou: Olive, Brown, Light olive, and ginger. I tear the barbules off the stem then kind of stack it all together. I am thinking that should be a good combo, thoughts?
