Fly tying the J.J. Special - this fly is for big fish, usually in big water

http://www.youtube.c...;feature=colike

Lots of big fish were just what Jackson tackle peddler Jim Jones wanted when he concocted his soon-to-be-a-legend fly. From Belt Creek to the mighty Mo', spring thru winter, the J.J. is one of our favorite flies. We've theorized that the yellow/brown color copies abundant Rocky Mountain sucker minnow and brown trout fry colors. Other suggests that the fly resembles the crawfish present in several nearby river systems. Maybe that's why it works great as a carp pattern too. What ever the case, when conditions are difficult, it's time to tie on a J.J. and fool in a few big fish.
