Jig Colour, Jigs and Lures

Hey Guys and Girls

Going to be heading up to Nipissing this weekend and was wondering whats the best colour is for jigs or lures this time of year.

Green/orange/pink have worked for us in jigheads

Red Devil/Williams/orange Buckshots for lures

Jigging Rapala's

Tip up with a 2 way or 3 way spreader, set it up just off the bottom

Grab some stinger hooks as well as sometimes the bite can be light and these will help

Give us an update when you get back.

Good luck, stay safe.

Thanks FatRap

I will update for sure when we get back. We are staying with Idle Tymes and have only heard good things about this operator. Fingers crossed for the BIG ONE.

We have been fishing out of Idle Tyme for the past 20+ years. Shawn and Terra are great owners and will take great care of you. We are booked for Jan. 23rd to 26th with them so I will look for your report to see how you did.

Tell Shawn that Dave wants the bungalow with the fish under it this year.

What colour jigs? Bright colors in dirty water, more natural colors in clear water.

Pink jigs and Buckshots are the best!

Hey gang I'm booked with Idle Tyme this year for the 10th to the 13th, its out first time booking with them but look forward to it from what everyone has told us.

the last five years we stayed with Scott at Glen Echo, great experience but just want a change of scenery!!

Any tips for when we are out there would be much appreciated!!!!

If fishing inside, single hook and slpitshot on UL rod is very effective.

What size jig heads and buck shots thanks

BOOZE AND BABY WIPES. LOL
OH, AND BRING SOME FISHING GEAR TOO.
WHEN THE BITE IS ON, ANYTHING WORKS WITH A MINNOW ON IT. NO JOKE.
GOOD LUCK

1/8 oz nipissing jig and cut the stinger off, 90% of the time I use pearl white or white/red, tip it with a med size shinner. The other option is what shank says, utralight rod can make the difference nipissing walleye can be the lightest hitting fish ever.I often use a whitefish tip-up with a minnow and at times they hardly move the stick, I use my fingers to feel the bite.

Thanks what is a nippising jig

A nipissing jig is a jighead style, it looks like a bullet head jig with the end cut flat , it is a stand up jig, most bait shops around there carry lots of them in different colours in either 1/4 oz or 1/8oz . they come with a stinger hook attached which is good when fishing crawlers, but in the winter when I fish shinners I cut the stinger off. The little bait shop at sunset cove has lots of them, the reason I think they work so well is when you bounce them off the bottom they will dig in and kick up some sand

Can we get a picture of this "nipissing jig"??

I don't have a picture, but the style of the jig is called a shad-dart jig head, if you go to the do-it jig mold site and look at the shad-dart jig, thats the nipissing style
