In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max Pavel ties theJiggy Mysis! This pattern is a little something I have been working on going into the winter months. This simple but effective Mysis Shrimp is ideal for those tailwater trout slurping crustaceans below your favorite man-made monstrosity. The lead eyes and slender profile make it a little bomb that sinks right into the fish's feeding zone. Tying in sizes 16-22 is advised. For your Colorado tailwaters focus on those 18's and 20's and choose your lead wire accordingly.
