What is everyone’s opinion on the high visibility line . I have heard some people say that it doesn’t bother the fish and some say it does
I use hi-vis orange with a flouro leader on my trolling/spider rigging setups. If I’m just jigging or float fishing, i use mono or fluoro

Personally, it hasn't seemed to matter to the fish in most of the lakes I've fished .... over the last 40yrs or so.
If I had trouble seeing the line I would use High Visibility line and wouldn't worry about it. I have and use both and can't tell a difference. :twocents
I never been a line watcher. Seen several use straight braid with good results. I use 8 lb blue or green Stren mono. Might make some difference in super clear water. Seen old timers use 60lb mono years ago on Nimrod.
I've used hi viz mono before and haven't had problems with catching fish, although my water is usually stained. I'm currently experimenting some with hi viz braid with fluorocarbon leaders on spider rigging, jigging, and pulling crankbaits.
Hi vis line is a must for me the way I fish. On days when they choose to not bite aggressive it pays off because I can see my line move or see it stop falling when one grabs it.
( I use jigs 99% of the time)
