baitfish temple dog

[Matt Reger]

So, lately I have been turned onto the temple dog tube fly craze lately and let me tell you: These flies work wonders on steelhead. Now, I'm looking to expand my tubes to encompass minnow colors. Can you guys give me some advice on color schemes to mimic minnows in the area?

Olive over white works well in clear water. Grey over white with hints of flash has proven wonders for me. Of course, purple over white is classic although not quite baitfish-like.
