An interesting article on salmonid vision.

" There are two areas where the trout's eye excels. The first is contrast - anything which stands out against the underwater background space light is easily seen, as are stripes, bars, and particularly, circles and spots (although the detail would be `fuzzy`) and the second is movement - even remarkably small and rapid movements provoke an instantaneous response in the trout's brain.

That's great, funny thing is, it would probably work too lol.
I'v seen a guy get one on a yellow and green 4" gummy worm  ;D

that was a trade secret not the colour combo but gummy worms  :o maynards swedish berries work too. I think the sugar makes steelhead go crazy. I personally like using mad river worms because of their paddle.
