I tried the Search but didn't turn anything up. Would anyone have any info or better yet, a Color Chart for visibilty in deep water ??? I would like to Help Out the Local Koke's by getting rid of some Lake Trout or Mac's or Mackinaw as you Guy's South call them.
 
Thanks, That is a lot of information. Did I miss that in the FAQ 101goodpost101

Here's a couple more...

http://midcurrent.com/science/fish-eyesight-does-color-matter/

on that last link ^ under color suggestions pay attention to the use of black and the section down below on florescence. That combination has worked very well for me the last few years... http://www.kokaneefishingforum.com/fishing-forums/showthread.php?t=5993

My Wife was telling about some Florescent nail polish she bought for halloween a couple years ago. She was saying it comes in some very interesting colors. I guess we will have to go shopping laugh hyst I just ordered some Canadian Wriggler lures last night. I used them in the Salt Chuck years ago and have to say the 5" jointed lures were the fishest thing going. After some research, I ordered one chrome plated and a Florescent Green/Chartuse. I lost the last one in a kelp bed 101flip101 These lures have been made in Canada from 1940 and still are. I got a email from the President of the company Sunday morning. He is the son of the inventor of the lure, Walter Lindquist Sr. Check them out http://www.canadianwiggler.com/ecom.asp?pg=canadianwiggler

A friend used to be the NW distributor of the Canadian Wigglers years ago...gave my dad and i a couple box's of them. One of these days i'll have to actually try one. thumbsup

edit: the box is 4 and 5" lures. added last picture of some 2" models... wonder if they'd work on kokes?
