Hi Everyone,

Do any of you consider tying different coloured parachute posts for different light conditions?

A good example: I like to tie Yellow parachute posts on some of my flies because I find them a lot easier to see when the sun is low and shining directly downstream when that glare can really be a pain. I find the yellow posts show up a lot better against the glare compared to white ones, but white is more visible in general light conditions.

Does anyone do anything similar?

Also, what materials do you prefer for wing posts? I Like using CDC for wingposts. I have tried Antron and Dyed Buck tail but find CDC a lot easier to control when creating the post, but perhaps it's because that's what I started with. Anyone use any strange/innovative materials for their posts?
