Just remember one thing nutz4bikez; fish don't see like we do and SOMETIMES they see things against the backdrop of the bright sky; not the woods. Maybe a fly rod being high in the air in the scheme of things; should be sky blue...

That's a good point! If your wearing Camo, that matches the surroundings, then you might as well have your rod Camo color according to the weather!!! 4 pc'ers! you could have the Sunny Day rod in your backpack for the afternoon and the Cloudy Day rod for the morning!!!
