I'm new to fly tying and fly fishing in general, starting out just this year. I've started tying the Clouser Minnow and Lefty's Deceiver in the standard colors.

I've read that you should go with darker colors on overcast days or when the water is not clear (Lord knows we've had a lot of that around the Northeast).

Is this true? What are good color combos?

Also, what is the smallest deceiver or clouser minnow that you've seen?

Thanks in advance,
dc
