On lakes stained brown or obviously cloudy, anglers should not rely on this colour-selection idea. Warm colours are considered when fishing shallows and in bright light. Cold colours are considered when fishing deeper water and during lower-light periods. Metallics must also be considered, since they reflect specific colours. Brass and copper reflect close to yellow and orange, respectively.
Silver reflects white.
Nickel and chrome, like mirrors, reflect existing colour rays at their depth. Black is made up of all colours and hence is the best contrast colour. Fluorescent colours are offered in some lures, and they look really sharp to us. However, from knowledge I've gained on this subject, they offer no real advantage. Incidentally, fluorescents activated by ultraviolet rays are effective only in the upper 45 feet of the water column.
