Mantis,

The reference if from the Sep 2006 Flyfisherman magazine. It's in the editor's response to a letter wondering why Simms would make their new G-3 vest in orange. (Something I've wondered myself)

The beginning of the editor's reply goes like this...

"In fact, certain species react to strike certain colors over others (rainbows, for instance, react strikingly towards blue, while smallmouth and largemouth bass react most strikingly to yellow and red)"

I find the attraction to blue hard to understand as well.
