I have a philosophy.
Bright day bright fly - Start with Black or White and move your way into dull colors.
Dull day Dull fly. Start with Olive or Brown and move your way into black and white.
Can't decide on a color, then try orange or pink.
With Scuds, I like to drop them off a prince, leach, or woolly bugger and I start around 6-8 on the attractor and 12-14 on the skud and go bigger or smaller from there depending on if I see scuds in the water.

I buy a decent amount of flies from here. Decent price especially on streamers.
My favorite still water technique is 4-5 micro strips with a pause, but I would mix it up and find what the fish like.
The only other thing is I believe there was a algae bloom at Viva https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts...ns/25fed06
So, avoid the slackwater bays and you should not have an issue with the algae.
