FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 Maybe the one i did last month is closer with the Purple UV stuff, perhaps i combine a tan or dark olive top with it? I think these with a dark top, maybe some hurl... Hmmz, the lateral line is prominent...I guess the top colour of the minnows will always be the colour of the substrate they are swimming on... To the bench again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 All look good. I think Steeldrifter should show us how the tank fish like them. He could film some real time fish reactions for us. We should start a petition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 I am all for him netting a few shiners and local forage to show us how they appear in the water. Those cichlids shouldn't mind. The shiner picture almost looks a cream or golden belly, very distinct in shape too. Drifter, we are sending you with a net and tadpole jar to the river.

To the bench again! Looking good Jam! I love the micro ep minnows. SO easy to tie and they just look good. An idea that just popped in my head..how about the lateral scale flashabou down the side!

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 I like the uv purple one with a herl topping idea and your right the tops will match the substrate they live in here where I fish they are almost pure black on top the pic is off the net not one I took Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
