Had excellent success with an 8" Spindoctor Mt Dew crushed glow and a variety of Mike's eyeflies last season on Lake Michigan, Green Bay. One of my favorites and one that snared a 25+ pounder last summer was a blue eye with a double 4-0 hook set up. The hooks Mike uses on his flies are killer. Great hook ups and hook strength. http://www.eyeflies.com/products.html
