I usually fish different colors depending on conditions.

A very general overview would be: 2ft vis > Chartruse, 2 - 4 ft vis Pink, > 4ft vis Purples and Blacks

does anyone know where to buy micro jigs? I'm looking fir the 1/16 or 1/32 sizes. I've looked all over and the only place I can find them is on the net but I don't wont to order them, it will take to long. If there is a tackle shops in the lower mainland area or out in the wack.
thanks

I heard a theory that pinks and whites work better for conditions of better visibility and blacks and purples work better in conditions of poorer visibility.It doesn't make sense to me but they say "the darker colors silhouette in the darker water"what ever that means? ???

When light is absent, the only colour that can be seen is black, therefore black or dark coloured lures, jigs, flies are commonly used at night or when water clarity is poor.
