The first Bi-Visible
(Brown) is credited to
Edward Hewitt. Mr.
Hewitt was a
renowned fly
fisherman from the
Catskills. Although tied
in many colors and
combinations the fly I
present to you today is
unique. I call it the Bee
Visible because of the
yellow and black
combination, which by
the way, is the best
producing color
combination I've found
for bright sunny days.

It's a great attractor
pattern and is always
my first choice for
rapid water on a bright
sunny day. The yellow
color seems to be the
magic in this fly.
According to W.B.
Willers Trout Biology,
1981, yellow is the
number one
preference color when
it comes to trout
selection of food
preferences.
Experience has taught
me that this is true.
Give it a try and you'll
be "hooked" too. It
may also be tied with a
Gold Tinsel
underbody.
