>>934515Fishermen are some of the biggest consumer whores you'll ever meet. Their lack of knowledge is easily preyed upon through mystery, superstition, anecdotal evidence, and outright lies. You really only need a small range of lures, in a small range of colors, to cover the conditions you meet and the target fish you want. The fly fishing term, "match the hatch", normally applies to all forms of fishing. That is, your lure should represent whatever the fish are eating normally at the time you are fishing. While there are always exceptions, those exceptions don't add up consistently over time.
