This tying video segment is from Practical Fly Patterns That Catch Trout, Volume Two, with Charlie Meck and Eric Stroup (Tightline Productions, DVD, 56 minutes).
Excerpt: "Two professors from British Columbia did a study in 1973 and they fed trout eggs in a trough, and they put in different color eggs. When they used one color only, they found that trout hit a blue-colored egg before any other color. But when they put a combination of colors in at the same time, trout fed more actively when they were fed black and yellow at the same time."
