Riverdancer, I have not found flashy attractor Nymphs very effective for fussy trout. If the trout are not fussy they'll hit a lot of other patterns also. I have for the most part stayed away from shinny and bright wire, flash etc in most of my Nymphs. The exception being as a rib over dubbing to give a segmented look, then it is a fine gold of fine silver rib.
I've just never had confidence in them.
Who knows, they may be around for awhile, but I won't keep the trend alive.
Give me a Hares Ear or PT over a Copper John any day. -Yaf

A warm summers rain falls down on a quiet fishing stream
Lined with cabins, smoke straight to the sky
Two ol fishin buddies with never a care
Teasing a trout with a fly.
