[cool][#0000ff]Shoot me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send you a couple of samples.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I lived in Sacramento for several years and fished all of the north coast rivers for steelhead and salmon. Some of my favorite flies were the "Boss" line, with hot orange bodies and black hackle and tail. Since then I have created my own line of "Boss-abous"...using marabou tails (like buggers) instead of the hair or fiber of the standard patterns. I have been scoring well on those with a hot orange body and black marabou tail and front hackle too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Orange and black have been favorite combos with many trouters in the west for years. In fact, Oregon member Zonker put up several posts in the past about his success on some golden colored rainbows using an egg sucking black leech with a hot orange head.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have also had success by adding a line of orange in a black fly, either as a "shellback" or as a line on the belly. However you add the orange, it adds to the contrast and visibility. And, orange seems to be a universal attractor color...used on many lure patterns.[/#0000ff]
