new to tying here and really enjoy so far. I dont just do it for fun though, i tie to catch fish. With that said, tell me what your favorite clear water color is and what is your favorite stained water color? Share pics if you can. Also, i live in Western North Carolina and fish primarily on Lake Chatuge.
Favorite clear water color is silver or nickle plated head,white ice chenille,light gray marabou tail with a touch of pearl midge flash in the neck area and tail. Nickle Plated heads in clear water with a lot of colors are killer.They give off flash and won't rust.
clear water - solid white
all other water - solid chartreuse
Clear water nickle heads white to light cream and grays stained water oranges to blue !
dark water....black/orange/char
clear water...white/yellow/gray
not these colors togather but somthing with these colors

Most of the water around my spot I fish is murky so I use blue/white and red/white on a 1/16th oz. leadhead and does fairly well. Just have to work it real slow.
Really a tactic i've noticed is.. just reel it in very slowly maybe only twitching it a time or two and that does better than jigging in most situations.
Course I fish shallower areas so that may be making a difference.
