ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting a fishing lure of a color or colors most visible and attractive to fish which includes the steps of observing the condition of the water to be fished to determine the relative clarity of the water, then measuring the light transmittance at the depth in the water to be fished. The water condition observed and the light transmittance value measured are then compared with a color chart upon which colors have been precorrelated to light transmittance values and water clarity conditions according to which color is most attractive to fish at a specific transmittance value and water condition. A lure color is selected on the basis of such comparison, and used to fish at the depth at which the water transmittance value has been measured.
The method is carried out by using an apparatus which includes a device for lowering a light sensing probe into the water, and further including a color chart and associated light meter which shows which color is preferred by (most attractive to) fish under the most frequently encountered water conditions, and when the light transmittance at selected fishing depths in that type of water is at any specific one of a number of light transmittance values.
