UV Flies?

isnt this all relative to depth? in fly fishing, there are really only a handful of situations where you are actually fishing any REAL depth. i can see UV being important with things like downrigger trolling for kings where you often fish in excess of 100-120'. but stripping flies for coho in the salt i doubt my fly has ever been deeper than 3 feet at any point. does UV matter at 3 feet deep? what about running a UV glow bug with that new steelhead stalker UV yarn through a 5' slot on the hoh? does that matter?

i don't think so. i'd be interested to KNOW if it offers added visibility to steelhead in low visibility situations like high, mucked up glacial water. otherwise its a gimmick to me.
