Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Chickabou Body Marabou Patch

Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Ewing Chickabou Marabou Body Patch

Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly is bright yellow-green with black bars. It’s a high-visibility color with built-in realism. The bars break up the glow so the fly looks like a perch or a baitfish instead of a neon sign.

Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Ewing Chickabou gives you barred, bright fibers for walleye jigs, redfish flies, bass streamers and pike accents. It’s a go-to when the water’s stained but the fish are still picky.

Walleye, redfish, speckled trout, bass, pike and perch.

Recipe 1: Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Chickabou Walleye Jig

• Hook: 60-degree jig hook, #2–#6
• Head: 1/16–1/8 oz jig head or slotted tungsten bead, chartreuse or gold
• Thread: Chartreuse 6/0
• Tail: Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Ewing Chickabou, full plume, plus 2 strands gold flash
• Body: Chartreuse Predator Dub, thin
• Collar: One turn of yellow chartreuse grizzly chickabou

Tying: Walleye like a slim profile. Keep the body thin and let the tail and collar do the work.

How to fish: Walleye hold near the bottom on rocky points, river edges and drop-offs, and feed best in low light. Use a sinking line, let it hit bottom, and hop it slowly with short lifts. Walleye bites are soft — set on anything that feels heavy.

Recipe 2: Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Chickabou Finger Mullet

• Hook: Saltwater 1/0–2/0, with a 20-lb mono weedguard
• Thread: White 6/0
• Tail: White chickabou with Yellow Chartreuse Grizzly Ewing Chickabou on top, plus gold flash
• Body: White and chartreuse EP fiber, trimmed into a baitfish shape
• Eyes: Large 3D eyes

Tying: Finger mullet are short and thick. Trim the EP fiber body tall and fairly blunt, with the chickabou tail giving it a swimming kick.

How to fish: Along marsh edges and over grass flats, redfish and speckled trout push mullet into the shallows. Cast past a pushing red and strip it across its path with steady 6-inch strips. Work it near the surface on a floating line.
