This episode is all about how fish see. Rob has covered other aspects of fish sensory organs and this one focuses (no pun intended) on the eyes. Anglers have debated what color fly or lure to use since fishing began.

Use this knowledge to choose your flies, lines, and clothing to catch more fish. This episode is for all anglers.  Produced by Jason Reif of Freestone Productions  Brought to you by Korkers
