All right,
I came on here to ask a simple little question, and ate up nearly an hour's homework time reading other interesting stuff. And it happens all the time!
Anyway, I want opinions. I am trying to simplify my steelhead fly selection this winter. I am going to tie three patterns, one for big, one for medium and one for small. I guess all of this is irrelevant background information, because my question has to do with colour. Do you believe it is important to have contrasting colours in a steelhead fly, or are monochromatic flies effective? The monochromatic thing isn't part of the simplification, but I want to use buggers as my medium fly and I don't like how they look with more than one colour.
thanks.
