Not really, the same stuff works now like it did then. I suppose that new colors get tried and work. When we pull plugs, it seems like metalic green or blue or purple works best, but we fish them the most. When it comes to flys, I pretty much use dark colored Mariboo ties because they are easy to tie and work great and if your fishing correctly you lose a lot of them. Presentation seems to be more key than color etc.

Looking at the records , the purple S.E 35 hotshot has produced the most fish ( AKA purple Jesus) My dad says " If I ever fall out of an airplane I hope to God I have one of these in my pocket because it will catch on something before I hit the ground !!)

I also have photos of a lot ( not all ) of the fish that were good sized we have caught over the years. For Christmas I will take one of the photos of the buddies with a exceptional fish, blow it up 8x10 and frame and give it to them as a present, cheap and cool. Funny thing is, the fish still look the same but we seem to be changing over the years ..

The other thing that really stands out is a three day trip with guys who drink alot costs twice as much as a trip with guys who don't, and you hit the water a lot sooner in the A.M
