Jeff: Thanks a million.. I'm gonna print this and head down to my local tackle store (and check my tackle box) and see if I have these.. I know I have some wooly buggers, not sure about the other..I don't tye my own flies (yet), so I'll have to buy them.. Chartreuse is deadly.. I crappie fish in the real early spring, and I use a Red headed jig with a chartreuse squiggly tailed grub with sparkles in them, and the crappie here tear those up... Thanks again, Chuck
