The Fishing Report

[6wt]

I’ve recently gotten into fly tying, which may be worse than heroin addiction…

 

here’s a jig streamer in size 10

Here’s the same jig streamer with an orange slotted tungsten bead…

So fish do see in color?

 

Edit: Google is your friend. They can see in color and UV too so that's even more than humans. Just came out of the "what if you could see in UV" rabbit hole. Pretty awesome. Worth a peek

It’s pretty cool what you see under NODs (night vision). There’s a whole nother world out there we don’t see.

Yes…they see in color…in fact, we use certain colors as a “trigger” to entice a strike, like orange (color of roe) or red (gills)…UV is also used…the body chenille of these streamers have fibers that light up under uv light

I never understood fly fishing but it is definitely something I want to try. Looks fun.

Oh my. That's a beautiful fish. What lure or fly?

That particular 25” rainbow was caught on a orange bead in Alaska on a 6wt fly rod…the sockeye salmon were in the middle of a spawn, and the trout were ignoring everything that didn’t look like a salmon egg…
