Let me share a story about colors. About 4 or 5 years ago I was fishing the Caney. I had fished for over 4 hours and had not caught a single fish. I started going through my colors......went though all the colors I had and caught nothing. Then it hit me that I had a color in my car that I had bought for a trip to east TN. I put on a brown TM and on first cast caught a chunky Gill.....same with the next 10 casts. Then it hit me I had been casting to the same place with the other colors and caught nothing. Decided to try a theory out and see if color mattered. Put on several different colors and caught nothing...put the brown back on and went back to catching a Gill on every cast. Surely a bluegill could not be sensitive to color. So put on a few other colors and each cast came up with nothing....back to brown and back to catching Gills. The moral to that story is try it all when nothing is working...color...retrieve rate...anything. IMHO color does matter at times.
