UV colors and flies tied with a UV materials are very well seen by the fish, for sure a trout and grayling – that’s what I know from my own experience.
A few people from Scandinavia sent me some time ago very positive information about the new product on the market a Danish Shrimp Eyes – the Easy Shrimp Eyes. I did not hesitate to contact with the producer who surprised me a lot and sent them for testing 😉 .
The eyes are great, symmetrical, well spaced and have a flat surface at the end for easier attachment to the hook.
As you can see in selected photos where a shrimp fly pattern is illuminated with a UV torch the Easy Shrimp Eyes and the accent on the belly shine and are very visible.
