Hey guys, sorry for all the questions but I'm just trying to be as prepared as possible when I head out to the stream. I was looking at Shannon's website, which recommends using olive and grey nymphs, which I have not tied any of yet and got me to thinking...when does one decide to used one color over the other when starting out the day's fishing? For example, lets say I have a tan, brown and olive GRHE, how would I decide which one to start fishing with?
I know confidence has something to do with it and usually I would use an olive fly over a vegetation-filled bottom and a tan fly over a sandy/gravel bottom and a grey fly over rocky bottom. Finally, while black is a very common and popular nymph color, I have never done well using black. Thanks. |
