I just tied up three gummy minnows and colored them to look like small rainbows (3 inches long) really look life like. One of them I tied in 15 strands of krystal flash and pull it taut and put the silli skin around it and clipped it for a tail so it will have some movement in the water. I used lead wraps on the hook, wrapped it with silver silli skin, then trimmed it to a minnow shape. I lined the back with green, put on two eyes and wrapped the whole thing in mother of pearl and trimmed to minnow shape. I took a red marker and colored around the eyes and gills and put black dots down the side. They look and feel like minnows. I am going to try them on the weber this weekend on the spawning bow's. I'll report on Monday. If all else fail, I will chuck white zonkers and wooly buggers to dredge up some big boys. Goddess, if these gummy's work, expect one in the mail, I want you to try it out for me when you go up to Idaho and see how it does.
