I often get asked, which color(s) should I use? Color selection is not a concrete science as with most fishing-related questions. As fishermen we’re philosophers, mind-readers, and theorists. We develop ideas based on past experience from what has and has not worked.

This video is my take on color selection when pursuing saltwater gamefish, e.g. redfish, trout, flounder, etc. Success is ultimately a product of having confidence in what you’re throwing. Use this video as a guide to color selection, but don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works for you.
