dtrs5kprs Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 Nope and nope. I do like a gold Indiana though. Should have made this a contest.
abkeenan Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Single gold Indiana blade? What trailer you got going on there? Looks like an old school yellow beetle spin body.

Members NebSchmidty Posted May 4, 2017 Members Posted May 4, 2017 Can't quite tell 100% from the pic size... but if I had to guess, you're speaking northern canadian... "up north, eh" to the Americans. Firetiger (what's that??) pattern with single Indiana gold?

Lot of river water is the same brown, but clear, color. Skirt is just a version of cole slaw. Trailer is a Zoom tail minus an inch or so. Alex Heitman and cheesemaster 2
Champ188 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 TR rarely gets muddy enough to throw a Colorado blade. Dave is spot-on with the Indiana and mag willow. Even in the upper Kings and James arms, when it gets brown muddy, you are going to struggle. These fish don't spend a lot of time in muddy water and they don't seem to like it when it happens. Best bet is to try and stay where you still have a couple of feet of visibility. dtrs5kprs, vernon and magicwormman 3
vernon Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Hard to believe that your spring trip is already in the books after all of the preparation and anticipation! Sounds like it was a typical success though and with the usual bizarre weather and storms. And the not so usual (but not unusual either) high water and flooding. Have a safe trip home and now you can start prepping for the next excellent adventure! How far did you have to go to get the tug out of the water?

Rob P Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Very informative, thank you. I was just starting to redo my battle plan for fishing in 2 weeks. Chocolate water needs a new strategy.
