I love to experiment and like you I need answers.
As for thee Shameless Hussy, I started of tying this with a red body. Some action, but nothing like the Glow in The Dark. I have NOT tried a UV2 body in this pattern....yet.
I am tying it for trial the SCB using Glow In The dark ad a rib or underbody. I will also try this with the Hussy.
I believe I have found UV works great at some times, especially in low light (deeper or darker water eat up light, too, obviously) but not so much at other times. One fly I tie by the literal hundreds uses UV Ice Dub and it outfishes any pattern I have ever used for dolly varden...
