Solid Orange

Grizly Orange

I picked all three, Mark. The reason being that you don't know what the water conditions will be at each place you will be fishing. You can't go wrong if you have some choices when you get there. Best of luck in Minnesota!

LOL You know me too well. Those are some of the best looking craw flies I have seen Mark. Bring some of them here and I'll take you down on the river for some giant smallmouth. They would kill those things!

Sweet looking flies. Good work. I think the brown looks best, but you should use whatever works.

also, fish some larger rusty brown colored Buggers

I've seen alot of crawdads (but not in that state) that have a darker color...also, I've seen dark blue Good luck.

crawdads come in Red, White and Blue (green too but saying red white blue and green didnt sound as cool)
