So what about Green and Blue colors and depth. Green so amazing you can be seen up to 130 feet. And blues are the deepest visible colors and over 150 feet of water depth. So let’s make this simple it is all about how deep your are fishing your lures when it comes to color choices. But a good rule of thumb for clear waters is to stay away from bright fire tiger like
colors, go more with a matchup of the natural prey in the water at the time.
Of course there is more to all this then just how deep are you fishing your lures. The above info is for clear waters, which I am sure most of us do not fish regularly. So what if you have stained waters, or turbulent water how does that effect lure color. These conditions add the variables that we need to recognize to make the right choices in our selections. Turbulent water obscure the fishes vision as well as color is lost very quick in less depth. For example while the color red is the first to be lost in clear water, the color Blue in turbulent waters is lost first. Of course we are not talking deep waters we are talking about very shallow waters. In these Turbulent
waters reds and oranges are seen as deep as 5 feet and blue is lost above that. Greens and yellows can be seen the deepest but that is still only 10 feet until color is lost for all.
So what about just stained waters, well that is pretty easy. Fish vision is poor through silt so it is a good idea to have lures with bulky profile and I feel
