Do you wear bright colors when you fish?

[Terry Campbel]

Having surveyed many years in Georgia swamps I found that mosquitos, gnats, deer flies, etc. are less likely to bother me when I wear army olive drab t-shirts or dark grey. If I wear a white t-****, they make my day miserable. tc

My day would be pretty miserable if I was wearing a ****-shirt too!

"A "T-Shirt" and a "T-****", I wonder what the difference is?

It looks like he may have missed the r in shirt.


I wouldn't want to wear one of those either.

Fish vision though the water is not distinct but they can detect colors.
Storks are white and egrets are shades of blue and bears are brown or black. You don't want to look like something that eats fish.

I find it very amusing watching fly anglers crawl up to a stream so as not to spook the fish. Why? Because they are not thinking like hunters. Even in olive or tan they are a large block of color that resembles nothing in nature.

I have an extensive camo selection of shirts and t-shirts. Wherever I go at least one will match the background. It's a lot easier than crawling and I have walked within feet of otherwise wary trout.

Try camo, you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Now is a good time to buy when most of it is on sale.

Right On. I don't think the color makes a difference personally, but I like camo...I think I will try it.
