Flashback nymphs?

Do you ever use any other color than silver for these?

 

Thinking of other color for warmwater fish.

I always use pearlecsent for trout, but I'm sure there are many colors that would entice warm water fish. Try a few colors, I'm thinking, red, orange, chartreuse, etc., and see what works best for you. As they say, let the fish decide.

I use a lot of different colors. Try using strands of Krystal flash for a different look. Your imagination is the only limit and experimenting with different materials is the key to creative tying. I have even tied some with a wing case of Loco foam. A strip of mylar coated with head cement and then sprinkled with glitter and then more head cement to seal makes a very interesting effect. Just cut loose and tie and the fish will tell you what really works.

I love the opal. The color is much more opaque and I think it is more effective.

I'm using a lot of the holographic colored tinsels from UTC.

i like red floss. Its not too loud and the fish go nuts for it, the more they chew it the better it looks.

Rick, I don't tie a lot of Flashback style nymphs, but as far as flash colors go, agree with the others about variety particularly for warmwater fish. I really like the holographic flashes, and pearl too. You might also consider some of the UV flash materials. No wrong or right to it. I would think in terms of water clarity, as some colors show up better with different degrees of clarity. For some tidal waters I fish, since they have a tannic stain to them, I really like black, blue, gold, copper, bronze & chartreuse all in holographic flash. Plus, I won't hesitate to mix them or add some pearlescent flash into the mix which IMO is good in any water. I also feel that with Flashback type flies, the coating used can amplify the affect of the flash, so I coat the flash portion with epoxy or some other durable clear finish on any I tie.

ohh and btw the metallic aurora yarn has pearlascent woven in it and looks really good

How about opal Mirage Tinsel by UTC, comes in several sizes. Practically glows in the dark.
