Hm....
If I look close in my materials, I observe that burned orange is not
as bright as the usual orange.
One or two years ago I fished with 2 different nymphs: One had a very
shiny, bright orange dubbed body (SLF). This nymph caught chub for me,
when I lost the nymph I switched to a nymph, where the body had a
more darker orange, not flashy hue. I caught imedeately 2 trout on
this pattern - lost it, and switched back to the brighter version.
Caught chub.
Did anybody else ever observed such a selectivity of fish concerning
the hue of a pattern?
