In part one of this 4 part series we looked at how water dims the light and reduces fishing lure color intensity. In this video we'll look at how it can actually change the colors that fish can see.
This means that what fish eyes are capable of seeing becomes less important. Because they simply can't see something that is not there!
It's as though fish are looking at your lures through a piece of blue cellophane that gets darker the deeper into the water they go. Try it for yourself- have a look at some lure colors through blue cellophane.
Even though you might have full color vision, you can only see the colors that remain after the cellophane has filtered the others out.
In clean, clear water the red wavelengths of sunlight are the first ones to be removed. And as you go deeper the oranges, yellows and greens disappear too.
So my advice is always to stop thinking about what colors fish can see - and start thinking about what colors are present for them to see. I'm sure you'll agree that the deeper the water becomes the less important lure color selection becomes!
