Or, if I want the insect to stick out and look like it has blood in it, then I use red thread..it does, I think, make a difference in the way that the fly looks to the trout in the water. I can't prove it, but many of my customers claim that my flies catch more fish than do those of the competitors..and I think the main difference is the foundation color of the thread. Just my 2 cents worth. Joyce
