Guest rich mc Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 a chartruese over white is a favorite color for many bassbuggers but chartruese has both a greenish hue and more yellow. perhaps we should start stating green chart or yellow chart does it matter on your water? rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have been tying with a more greenish hue cartreuse. Same can be said for olive colored flies too, quite productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airbornemike Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 water clarity has a lot to do with my color choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 so mike do you prefer the green or yellow chartruese in dingy water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbickley Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Just two questions. Doesn't chartreuse "change color" when it's fished underwater, so that it becomes more of a "blueish" color? And doesn't the time of day that chartreuse is fished affect its "luminosity"? I guess I'm wondering how a "yellowish" chartreuse would differ from a "greenish" chartreuse when submerged. Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't create some sort of fly-tying color wheel similar to the color wheel we used in art class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airbornemike Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yes rich chartreuse and like minded colors for stained or dingy water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Rich, I'm not sure I can convince myself that minor hue differences make that much of a difference. Large color differences, yes, I've seen that proven time and again, though be it more often with other species of fish under more controlled conditions (if that is possible). And seeing how chartreuse doesn't show up naturally in nature often, contrary to what a noted big name fisherman states, I feel it works because they can see it under more conditions and from a further distance and therefore they're more likely to hit it. Just my thoughts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
