Well done bro and i'm glad you were inspired to try it out for yourself and had some nice results...what to try next is to go to a river by you that's heavily pressured next time there's a nice mayfly hatch and throw some appropriate sized CDC Comparadun's in whatever color you wish...i've done...

Alright just got back from the Wild trout river i've been fishing the last 3 days...took my camera with me tonight managed to pick off 4 so I took some pictures...1st is one I caught in the pool behind the bridge while sitting down in foot and half rapids...second I caught in a long flat pool...

I've been experimenting for quite a while with the significance of fly color in "matching the hatch" situations and simply put I've found it to be almost completely irrelevant. Just this past week for example was casting to a 14 1/2 wild brown feeding selectively on sz 16 sulpher...
