White does a good job of representing translucent minnows. The #4 does a good job of representing smelt minnows that are the only food source at Lake Almanor CA in January and February when the lake is 35 to 45 degrees.

This color is one of the first to be offered in size #8 (3 pieces per package). There are often times when the trout are selective to size and I have begun offering down sized flies using the small “Shuck” for the body and the same marabou for the wing and tail. I will be adding more #8 colors if demand is there. #8 is about 50% smaller than the original #4.
