It doesn't matter if you're fishing corkies, Okies, worm, jigs or whatever, pink, white or black are the three predominant colors that catch fish. You are taking something that is relatively simple and trying to complicate it beyond reason. Why I don't know. Many times I've watched fish travel to take my pink/white jig. Whether it's a deep pool or shallow drifts they have moved up, down and sideways to take it. I've had several takes when I was retrieving my jig a couple feet from the surface.

There is a guide on one north coast river who fishes jigs 29" from the float. His predominant color is pink. He hammers the fish. Tell him it doesn't work.

You talk as if you have this whole thing figured out but by your own admission this last season you hooked what 15 fish in 9 trips. Not exactly staggering numbers for someone who talks as if they are the expert.

So, what is the color combination that will "blow away" pink/white. I'm still waiting for the answer.

And don't call me surely.
