Best Color San Juan On Taneycomo

[barredrock]

what in your opinion is the best color San Juan worm for Taneycomo, adn for what reasons and in what conditions

[Wayne SW/MO]

Red or Ginger. They're better in some areas then in others. I try them in slower sections because they haven't performed as well as scuds in the faster flows.

None of what you have listed are my favorites, we caught 60+ on wine, and white San Juans today.

i can see the wine, but the white caught me off guard a little, but I will add them to the poll if you wanna check them

I've caught enough 10 plus rainbows and browns on the

white to make me a believer. My best on white so far has

been a 16 pound rainbow, biggest brown has been 13

pounds, thanks for adding them to your poll.

I could count on one hand, the number of times I have used a SJ worm. Never liked the feel of it in the water. After reading TIm's post, I may have to start getting used to it. Those are some heavy duty fish Tim.

Caught a 29 inch rainbow at McC's on a worm brown SJ. Litterally have caught thousands of trout on them. Especially high water boat fishing. Also have an old picture of a big cutthroat caught on one. I have the fly punched through the frame.

I like a chamois sj.

I have tyed worms the SJ way and have done a little experimenting with 2 tone worms.

I dont have a photo with me, but take, say a brown as the body and use a dark shade over the 2 spots where i secure it to the hook. I also tye them a little longer than regular SJ worms

The best success so far has been a dark red and contrasting lighter red as the body. I will try and get a photo up of them.

found this in the archives.  I'm a jig guy but would like to try this.  How do you guys fish them in a boat, just under a float?  Or do you fish them on a drift rig on the bottom?  also do you tie with a plain hook or a small jig head?   Also how do you tie and fish an egg fly during the same conditions?
