I’m hoping this adds to the conversation,in my feeble way of seeing and understanding things,wouldn’t natural colored lures be advantageous for the fisherman than say bright colored lures? Let’s put it this way,natural brown,or black shows up in a wider range of water clarity than bright colored lures do,that being the case,wouldn’t my odds and catch ratio increase when using browns and blacks,vs brighter colored lures?
I do believe contrast to be more important than color,but only if the contrast is noticeable in all water conditions.Just to clarify something else,I live in notoriously red clay country.When our water is muddy,it’s not dingy or stained,it’s flat out orange colored,under much of our water conditions,at best visibility is no more than a foot.
