Another color worth looking at is Berroco Ultra Alpaca #62168 candy floss mix. It is a fine 3ply, 50% super fine alpaca and 50% Peruvian wool mix. I found it in my wife’s knitting basket! The wool has been a staple in many of my flymphs and wet fly patterns.

Re: Hooks
Ken,

Re: UV
I have read the books mentioned by roadkill plus THE NEW SCIENTIFIC ANGLING TROUT AND ULTRAVIOLET VISION by Reed Curry.
