I would like to poll the forum members for their take on fly line color.
Since Steelhead are not color blind (or so I believe), does the orange or bright yellow lines, for example, spook the fish? Does the lines added visibility to the fisherman outweight any such concern? Are such bright lines okay on sunny days, yet not so great on ones with a dark overcast?
What about the gray or brown or green lines? Does a fluorescent green line detract or not?
If this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it, so please pardon any perceived duplicity.
