Thanks, interesting read. Of course, my home lake is only 15ft deep so just about any color is going to show, but it's nice to know.
It gets talked about a lot, but I found this to be a good read on understanding color choices with different depths.
Effects of Water Depth on Color Visibility - Great Lakes Fishing
Thanks, interesting read. Of course, my home lake is only 15ft deep so just about any color is going to show, but it's nice to know.
That made my head hurt.
Thanks for the article!
I wish I would have seen this before I was fishing yesturday and it was very cloudy almost no sun and I was using firecracker grubs and my friend was using charptreuse we were fishing 10 to 15 feet of water and only caught one for the day very interesting article
Really good read, have read samething written in different ways. Have a old color selector and basically learned to understand light penetration affect on colors using it after reading articles in bass magazines on line color visibility under water. I still find myself using bright colored lures on overcast days and dingy water and wondering why I'm not getting bit.

I learned a lot about this in night college classes after I'd passed the know it all kid stage. It's referred to in physical science as Raleigh Scattering Effect. This was just as the old color selectors were the rage and was ready to take the plunge myself. Makes it simple, just stick with the blues and purple at deeper depths.

Understanding this improved my fishing.
