The Idea of scruffing up a good fly sounded kinda outlandish till I tried it and found it worked.
Fish have a narrow filter on what is and aint.
A brand new Spratly wont catch wild or Hatthery Rainbow's. But one thats scruffed up, dirty and ratty looking will get em' pretty often.
There's another fly, a bi-visable, the real name is: "Renegade".
It only seems to work where a stream from the High Irrigation ditches runs into the sandy wide spots in the run-off stream.
So it's genetic profile matches somthing those fish are used to eating. What? I never found out.
But that fly never caught fish anywhere else I tried it.
