The biology of fish only defines which senses target prey or lures. I have to believe that the lateral line #1 in sensing motion no matter how slight.
"The lateral line system allows the detection of movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the water surrounding an animal. It plays an essential role in orientation, predation, and schooling by providing spatial awareness and the ability to navigate in a fish's environment."
A motion sensitive ability is achieved via hair cells (like in the human ear), which respond to displacement caused by motion and transduce these signals into electrical impulses. (Real time fish finder transducers function the same way.) The lateral line allows fish to navigate and hunt in water with poor visibility and at night. Blinded predatory fishes are able to hunt." (So much for color's importance.)
The biology of the lateral line is extensive and way beyond my pay grade but whose function far outweighs that of vision.
To continue"
Objects in water will only appear as their real colors near the surface where all wavelengths of light are still available
The deeper the water, the fewer colors that are observable. Object brightness/ light reflection is key versus hue when it comes to what fish see. I make clear plastic lures with and without fine glitter and catch as many fish in 15' as I do in 3'. Though clear, the lure is silhouetted against any background including that of open water.
IMO The importance of biology - especially when it comes to motion reception - and the properties of light in water matter when it comes to getting fish to strike my lures. Facts and details matter; I leave my imagination at home.
