Old Outdoorlife White/Pale Nymph Article

[drhu22]

I cant find much info on the web, but the author from a very old article in OL seemed convinced that white or pale nymphs (maybe streamers?), and wet flies deserved a prominent place in his fly box. He thought it might represent albinos apparently. I remember having a violent take just below the surface on a #14 or 16 white hares ear at Bearspaw the only time I tried it (I am no pro fly fisherman).

I thought I would throw it out as an idea for you fly tiers looking for ideas.

After each instar, the exoskeleton before it hardens, is lighter in colour. This attracts fish that wish not to "crunch' their food.
Plus, generally the insect is more visible just after shredding.

I was thinking pale evening dun, but they have a yellow cast.

Many mayflies of various species look pale or white when shedding
skin.

Small Coffin fly would likely work for those, 14s, 16s. sparse hackle.
