Peggy and DonO,
The red spot that I mentioned in the red spot shrimp is said to be a
parasite seen in natural shrimps.
There is something in the current issue of Flytyer about bright spots in
flies.

Hi All;
When I first started tying flies, they were for Bass and I remeber Lefty Kreh
saying that he always included red in his Bass patterns somewhere, he felt it
served as a trigger for the Bass. If it's good enough for Lefty I figured it
was good enough for me. I've always used red
They seem to, but I always assumed a fish saw black and white, same as
cats. But we had a cat that liked rad marabou.
Or do I pick the fly with the hot spot days when the fish are more
available?

I think there must be something about red because when fishing for Stripped
Bass I found that red eyed flies were more productive than yellow eyed. Even
the same pattern so little bits of red must form a trigger.

If you note the Florescent red collar on the WRD and the Fire Orange collar on
the Chili Pepper that is why I think those flies are as effect as they are.

they must be able to see color, or else what is the genetic advantage of
having so much color on their bodies, especially at spawning time. It
must be a cue to other members of their species, ie the ladies, that
they are available.

Hi folks, was thinking of all the activity over the weekend on the list,
refreshing to say the least.
Was thinking this morning of hosting a swap, in honor of the IOFF and the
creative juices of the members.
How about a nymph/ scud swap based on the thread of the juice bugs and blood
spot
Can you buy jelly rope from any retail stores?

Are you ready for any sort of disaster, or power outage, or being
stranded on the road? Go here and get ready NOW, while you can.
If fish only saw black and white we would not need all the colors we buy and
would have missed out on the old victorian salmon flies.

Hi DonO;
Well said!
I've come to think it's more about contrasting shades than any particular
color. I just happen to buy in to the red effect for Largmouth bass. I would
not be suprised at all if I were to photograph flies in black and white and
determine which other colors would give

On scent, to me there are two aspects to start with- before the take and after
the take.
A soft plastic bait will feel real, but does it 'taste' real? Will they keep it
long enough to set the hook?
A hard bait doesn't feel real, so taste doesn't matter- hook-up is on the
strike- they can't

Hi DonO;
From my bait chunkin days, I found that crawfish and baitfish scents seemed to
increase my catch rate, especially with hard baits and older style soft baits
before the Senkos and the salt/scent added soft plastics became the norm. Any
oil including vegetable oil worked to keep
