DUBBN,

I don't understand your post. Please enlighten me. If I'm in the cast of "Fargo", I want to run the woodchipper.

Sorry, didnt mean to confuse. I do not have a dog in this fight. I have tryed UV materials when tying, and have not noticed a difference in my catch ratio. I am not saying UV materials are good or bad. I am completely indifferent. You use them, others do not. It's my opinion that confidence in a pattern is more important than the material it is tyed with.

I find it amusing that UV has struck such a cord in the participants of this thread.

I found your statement...

"Okay, since Mike has said all he is going to say on the matter - and he is a man of his word - I find myself somewhat re-invigorated.
Otter, is there any more info you would like?"

....very humorous

I read that part of your post and knew he would not stay quiet. I went and tyed a few Buckskin nymphs, came back and saw that I was correct. That struck me as very funny. I think you did a good job of baiting him, but I am somewhat certain that was not your intention.

Sorry, I didnt watch Fargo, but I do believe I know what you meant.

DUBBN,

No, I wasn't using bait on a fly forum.
As for using UV materials, as far as I have seen materials that are tagged "UV" are fluorescent. Fluorescence is when UV light strikes an object and is re-emitted as visible light. When I was speaking of UV reflectance, that is not visible to most humans (except as small children who can, a recent study shows, see UV. Next time a small child says "See that blue thing, Daddy?" he may have something.

While this topic is very interesting, and the differences in experience and insight have been, up to this point, respectful, this is beginning to deteriorate into a squabble, not a discussion. i believe we have enough, here.
