<p><strong>Blue in trout flies is a color I seldom consider. <a href="http://fathernatureslifeonthefly.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Chad Gauerke (Life on the Fly)</a> uses the blue bead and ribbing and it pops doesn&#8217;t it? My son has tied Lighting Bug nymphs with blue and less silver. Blue/Purple are highly visible deep in the water column. Worth a consideration?</strong></p>
