The Skinny Jig has been a killer fly pattern both in the Black Hills and on many other trout streams and rivers. This fly is simple to tie and is easy to fill up a box with lots of sizes and colors. The Micro Glint Tinsel gives the body a nice iridescence and shine that trout can’t resist. Olive, brown, peacock, and black are a few favorite colors, but lots of other colors can be effective as well!
