Fishing Clothing Blog

If you question the value of fishing camouflage, you will find that it makes even more sense when you understand how and what fish actually see. Aqua Design can tell you that our fishing camouflage clothing is made by printing actual underwater photography on fabric. Aqua Design can tell you that the photographs were actually taken from the fish-eye view. But many people don’t believe it matters what they wear when they go fishing.

It is fascinating to learn that there has actually been a good bit of scientific investigation of what fish see, how they see, and how their vision is affected by various amounts of light penetrating to various depths. In fact I recently discovered two very clear and helpful articles on fish vision.

“What Do Fish See?” by Rabbit Jensen is available on the website of the Delaware Valley Women’s Fly Fishing Association. Here is the link to the article: click here.

This very helpful article explains how fish see and how their vision is affected by the fish’s environment.

The second article, “Can Fish See Color?” was published by SaltWater Sportsman and can be found on their website - click here. This article specifically addresses the question of whether fish see color, what color they see, and even how depth in the water affects their ability to see each major color.

I encourage you to read the articles both for the understanding of why fishing camouflage makes infinite sense for anglers and for a little help in choosing the perfect lure for the environment.

Happy casting!
