Nice vid! that's awesome, he will be hooked for life!

congrats everybody on funny fish! ALBEEEEEEEZ!!!!

I have issues I know. I'm ok with it

Sometimes these fish get fussy, when they do, (like yesterday for me, lots of boats there, about 6 other kayaks). I usually switch to a funky color called a tutti fruity, its either pink over chartreuse, or chartreuse over pink (which is what i like). my flies are simple, pattern doesn't matter, its just the color.

those 2 colors reflect a ton of UV light (or whatever companies use to die the materials that color), when I shine my UV flashlight on them (the one used for curing UV glue), they light up like a christmas tree. If you have one of those UV lights, shine it on various fly tying materials or even some lures and see the results.

it works for me, figured it might be worth mentioning!

I'll have to try that, just got one of those lights this week.

You can also use em to find dog pee on your carpets!
