Rene, Have you tied several flies of the same pattern and materials at the same time, used one and it catches a lot of fish,. If it is lost and you take a second one from the same batch and fish it at the same time as the first one, no hits at all. Try a third one and it might work as good as the first one. The question is"WHY". Tony

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? Rene --------------------------------- The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo!
