Awhile back I asked if any Considered white as a dark color ? Got the usual light in light , dark in dark , Been that way forever . Was fishing a not so clear ,actually muddy creek on Enid due to rain . Came across an old friend that ask me what I was using . Anybody that has ever fished with me knows that in Dirty water on Enid there is only one bait for me . PURPLE/CHARTREUSE ! I had a few and I ask what he was using and he said "white ". Since he had twice as many as I did I could not get it off my mind . When I asked him if he did not consider white as a light color, he replied only if it's transparent . The question now after seeing the "Richard Gene " video is why red/white rather than black /chartreuse, solid black ect, better ? Is the red/white more contrasting than Black /chartreuse ? I use red/white, and blue/white, in clear water . Looking to learn something here . Since it was ripping cold where he was and I do not fish in cold weather much how much does that come into play ? He did say the fish were 8 ft' deep but did not say how deep the water was actually.
