Fly Color

[Big Water]

Had an interesting weekend where the Carmel Dolphin Spin Doc pounded the others by 10 to 1. Caught over 30 fish and lost many others including a heartbreaker that grabbed the fly and set off on a 400' run like a locomotive. Snapped my leader and was gone. Only thing that came close to the Carmel Dolphin SD was the Crazy B*tch SD and it wasn't that close. When I went through my two Carmel Dolphin flies and then a Crazy B*tch fly behind the Carmel Dolphin Spin Doc, I started to use whatever fly I had and it seemed to make no difference. Whatever fly I stuck behing the Carmel Dolphin Spin Doc took a pounding. So my question is; does the fly make that much of a difference? It didn't seem to this weekend.
