After last nights discussion of red lines and baits, I've found a few articles on what fish see. They are pretty varied however what is interesting is the fact that they may be able to see more of the colour spectrum than we can !!!

Opinions please ? Any experts on the subject ?

It seems of late that the carp in Abbrook can't see my baits if that's any help

There are some interesting articles here and I shall read them more thoroughly soon. I still think that if a fish is hungry and in the vacinity of food they will eat.

I dont know mate.

I know some people think fish can't see red but then why is the red maggot the best maggot and in pike fishing the bait saver is in red coz it attracks the fish and some of the colours on the fish is red?????

I know mate! It's crazy how people think that the fish can't see red! As you say, red maggot does the biz, so does the red for the pike as you say! However, I do think that fish can be perceptive to rigs and recognize certain rigs, and wise up to them. This is where I believe anglers get an edge when using a different rig to others on the bank, but as for what fish actually see, it's hard to tell without getting the PETA involved. If scientists were to TRY to find out properly, then I personally think that it'll cause an outrage amongst them lot, and as we all know, anglers and them aren't on the best of terms (as i've unfortunately had to find out, ending up with me getting hit round the back of the head with a bit of scaffold pole) - barstools, absolute barstools.
