BigBrownTrout 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2010 I generally fish the CJ as a straight forward attractor pattern because if I'm trying to imitate a specific hatch there are better flies. With that in mind, I usually mix colors up along with the sizes of wire used. One of my favorite CJ color combos is Gold/Red/Chartreuse. I also like Chartreuse/Gold or Red/Gold.

boynabubble 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2010 The trout go crazy for red where I fish. Chartreuse is awesome. Black and natural work well. Blue is OK. I still do the best with red. I am meaning to try some other colors. Amber, chart./black, tan/black, and olive/black should all work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan 1967 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2010 Hi, Tied some red CJ today. It´s a good pattern in original as well as in other colors. What do you think about my sample attached here ? Where do you get black colored copper wire ? Or do you color it yourself ? Hi from Germany Stefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
