At my previous residence i had a 150 gallon aquarium that I "tank-tested"
flies in.
Holding flies in front of pump jets was very informative as to how flies
reacted to shifting currents.  I had wild chubs for a while and it was
interesting that a certain orange eye from Witchcraft, no other color, drove
them nuts with agression.  They would attack a mylar minnow with this color
eye relentlessly until I removed it from the tank. I also had flies that
were very different than I pictured them underwater, and flies that were
flops when submerged.  Some flies flipped over, some needed tuning, and some
looked just like the real thing.  I highly recommend seeing your fly
creations as the fish see them, at their level and below the surface.
