Offshore, army truck, green splatterback and the glo bud are my favorites. On the inside the purple haze and the oil slick catch the odd one when im not rollin choves on both sides.

Purple Haze has been a good one for me also. I generally run it behind a Purple Haze Flasher for full effect. Works really good on heavy overcast days, but also works well in bright sun - go figure!
I'll see what I can find around the house to photograph, but I think all my prize hootchies are still on the boat. Which is still in Campbell River [V]

Something like that... [
]Used to live, fish and guide in Vancouver. Moved to Tahsis in '02 and started guiding here in '03.
Boat is in CR for work - should be getting it back soon.

That's a variation of the dog turd. I think that one is made by Yama****a.

I have had good luck with the glow white and the cop car. Also have caught some mighty big Springs on a glow Pink. I like to put a Mylar skirt inside the cavity of the Hootchy.

OK, here is a fresh pak of my favourite hootchy for the WCVI.
I've been running this one for the last 3 or 4 years and it has worked very well for me. I generally like to put a mylar twinkle skirt inside when rigging them. I also use beads to space the hook back to the end of the fonds.

Here is my box of untied hootchies. You can see another pack of OMW72R's in here as well as some Army Trucks, some Blood & Bones, and a whole bunch of others.

Hey Jim, I wonder if we should exercise a little discretion before posting all the little "secrets" its taken us years to figure out on our own...
