I tie great big ones for pike fishing. They get the odd bass and
walleye too.

Besides bass, I've caught channel cats on WB in my home river.

My best colors in warmwater are purple and yellow.
I imagine the purple buggers pass for leeches, and the the yellow
ones,... well, I dunno, fish just seem to like yellow. Maybe they
are Vikings fans.

Brown seems to work best down here (with black and olive next). I'm
guessing that the brown ones are imitative of crawfish. The olive ones
probably pass for dragonfly or damselfly nymphs.


Can fish see color? Do they have cones in their eyes? And what color does
olive appear at 3-4 meters depth?
