Spey Colors?

 Lookin for some suggestions on colors and improvements. Started experimenting/fishing these the past few years and have been restocking the box with a few. I know it's been discussed before.....just thought I'd put these out there for critique. The head on 'em......

    Try orange/pink if you dont like pink/orange.

    Yeah. I was always fishing black/pink when my buddy was fishing orange. We both got fish but I think I got bit more. But I loved the way his orange flies looked. I said that I should fish more orange. The first thing I tird was my truder pattern in orange/red. The fly didnt jive right to the eye for me. So I gave it to my buddy to fish. He lit them up. Landed 7 before getting it stuck on the bottom. I said from that point on, "I must fish more orange." You coming over for the get together?
