Finally, a short and sweet video clip of what i have been looking for. And not just one by one with a mouthful of unnecessary words put into it but multiple rigs all at once in real water conditions with least words but on important notes. Thank you for that!
I just learned more in this video about lure colors than I've learned over the past 50 or so years of actually fishing with lures. I'd be really interested in seeing a similar video showing the results of plastic worms/creatures, as well. Thank you for the concise, straight to the point presentation of this topic. 👍🇺🇸
My grandfather had an interesting and logical view of lure colors (and fly pattern colors as well.) He maintained that water clarity didn't really matter a whole lot. That, most of the time, fish were looking up at a lure and therefore only saw it in silhouette against the bright sky above, so every lure basically looks black to them from their perspective. My own thoughts are that, even when predatory patrolling fish are looking horizontally at a lure, they are wary of anything that looks unnatural in their environment, so I tend to shy away from bright colors except for silver and gold baitfish imitations. Colors are helpful mostly to fishermen who wish to see their lures on the retrieve. To the fish? Not so much, I think.
I prefer to tell it like it is. I'll provide demonstration and evidence in a concise format. You as the viewer can decide whether you agree or disagree, and feel free to discuss!
@@FishingwithNat this has been a subject I’ve seen very few other channels discuss and only one other with a visual aid. Except they used coloured tubes, not actual lures. Only other video I saw talking in decent detail was a colour guide for different grades of murky water and how for really silty water, go with black because it will cast its own shadow. Honestly, I’ve tried the noisiest lures and they still didn’t work when the water was super churned up by the breeze. You would dip your lure in and they disappear from human sight after a few feet down.
That had to take many hours to prepare for and shoot to get a two minute video. Rigging the holder, traveling to the different lakes, then getting the filming set up ready had to be very involved and time consuming. Great video and quite informative
Yes, all depends from water chemistry/ sandy boggy or rocky layers? / then sun rays (light) dispensers and I agree with Nat - rattling or vibrating lure works best or to be implemented? well yes you can try an fluorescent ( glowing in dark) bait too, but that is a separate chapter no need to torture Nat or asking for his opinion at this time , many thanks Nat👍 keep us posted
Because of your helpful videos, I concluded that fluorocarbon fishing line is a scam and stopped buying it entirely. The only significant differences between fluoro and mono are that fluoro sinks and mono is way cheaper. Otherwise fluoro and mono are equally (very) invisible in the water. My wallet is thanking me! And my knot tying skills are improved since I don't mind wasting a bunch of cheap mono to practice my knots at home.
No matter what type of fishing line you are using, as Nat manged to demonstrate in this show,☝️ eventually getting so dark that a certain fish species hunts,, own way'' senses vibration first place, I did try to use these blinking /flashing electronic eyes /but there is no good reason to believe this will work 100 %
Would love to see a comparison of colored fishing line with different water color . I fish a lot of salmon and steelhead and use colored line (red or yellow) to see for mending the float but would like to see what visibility each has . Great videos
@@FishingwithNat colored braid or Copolymer. Usually Power Pro braid in dark red for salmon and Gamma High Vis yellow for Steelhead . I’m older and eyes are not as sharp and color helps me see the line . I’ve always been curious what visibility from a fish perspective on colored line vs clear
@@kahuna13135 I agree that it would be interesting. A lot of people use colored braid for other applications too. It sounds like fun but will have to wait until next year. Things are starting to ice up here!
In our specific videos on chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, spoons, spinners, crankbaits, etc., I mention a bunch of favorites in each category and show them underwater. Those videos are all included in our Learn How to Fish playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLcXAWxBLRzoLwZtDQEhuaHby0yQM_wHhU.html and offer a lot of explanation of why I like which lures and when I use them.
I find myself clicking back and forth 5 sec at a time comparing each color at each depth. Thinking about different baits, colors, and situations. I could watch another video with many more lures to get a good grasp on what happens in different conditions.
Naked truth, I trust Nat's stated opinion, reason? I tested / viewed a different watershed scenarios with underwater camera/$80 investment/ save you time and money ( purchasing colorful jewelry like lures) but useless, Nat was diplomatic enough not to tell you; buy only what you really need☝and test it not not just guess it 🤚
I think the only flaw with this test results is seeing it and assessing it through the human eyes. What we perceive likely isn't what fish perceives when in every aspects of possible visions. Even differing species have differing visions. Different species of fish evolved to have different type of highly specialized visions and even sacrificed certain visions to gain other highly specialized senses. The more research we put together, the better we can get at assessing our own local fisheries what colors works better. We have bias vision but it's a start. 😅. We are selective of what we want to perceives or believe without researches to narrow it down.
Good vid, but I'm fairly sure most fish only see ultraviolet for the first few years of their life. After they're 2-3 years old they lose that capability.
@@FishingwithNat I'm guessing it has to do with spotting small underwater insects or perhaps just that smaller fish tend to live in different locations from large. I found this part interesting though, it's about trout. They have UV vision as fry, then lose it, but regain it if they travel from fresh water to salt water. It might just be something like UV exposure causing them to lose it. In humans, babies actually need UV light aka daylight in order for their eyes to develop properly. While for adults UV light hurts our eyes and is a major part of what causes our vision to deteriorate as we get older. > Trout, like most fish, can see in colour, and they have the right receptors to see the full range of colour we do; as fry they can also see UV light, losing this as they age. > Migratory trout regain UV light perception on returning from the sea. They also detect polarised light, which tells them when dawn and dusk are happening and stops them confusing that with changes in cloud cover. Their eyes are tuned particularly to green and orange light, the most common in freshwater.
The results are informative, and I appreciate the lengths you go to to provide us with useful content. Thanks.
Thanks - this was interesting to make
Thank you Nat. As a lure designer I desperately needed that info to come up with new colors based on water conditions.
Cool - glad you found it useful!
what company do you work for? I would love to hear more about lure desining
Finally, a short and sweet video clip of what i have been looking for. And not just one by one with a mouthful of unnecessary words put into it but multiple rigs all at once in real water conditions with least words but on important notes.
Thank you for that!

Thank you for the feedback. Lakes are icing up here today so maybe next year 🙂
Love your stuff Nat. I love the way you think. Excellent as always. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome - thanks for the feedback
This is helpful and it does show which colors stand out in the darkerand merkier waters!! Thanks for doing this!!
You're welcome - thanks for the feedback!
a nother helpful vid from nat
Thanks
Very helpful! For both trolling and when I paint different colors and patterns.
Great! Thanks for the comment.

That makes sense to me. Especially thinking about a fly on the surface against a bright sky.
Hey Nat, I’m a new angler here and thanks to your channel I learned a lot! Really glad I found your channel
Great to hear - welcome and thanks for the feedback!
Great video man. Your channel should be more popular. You are the first fishing guy who hasn’t tried to bamboozle or just straight up lie.
I prefer to tell it like it is. I'll provide demonstration and evidence in a concise format. You as the viewer can decide whether you agree or disagree, and feel free to discuss!
Thank you so much!! Love these small yet so maasivly informative videos! Keep doing what you love!

Mono sinks too, just very slowly. But yeah, the visibility doesn't seem to be much different between the two.

Great video with some great information! I appreciate you sharing this with us. Very helpful! Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!
Same to you...thanks for the feedback!
Another great video man. Thanks!!!
Thanks - I appreciate the feedback!
super. Woulda-shoulda-coulda left a "above the water" still plastered on a corner, on each descent, so we can remember what the lures looked like.
I filled the frame with the lures underwater so I wasn't able to keep a shot of the above-water lures in the corner. I thought about it though!
Love videos like these. Not only are we watching a subject we have an interest in we get answer some questions and learn something. Great work
Thanks - I appreciate the comment
Thanks a lot for great information ❤ like see more videos 😊
Thanks. More videos to come.

Are you using floating fly line or colored mono/braid?

@FishingwithNat I’m a patient man 😂😂. Just an idea . 💪🏼
Any specific brands/sellers you recommend buying lures from? For rather price or sturdiness

That's true, although this video is as much about how colors are absorbed by the water itself, not just how a fish sees a lure.
