Over the years I have had the opportunity to try many different brands and color lenses. The best have been the amber under all c onditions. Dont fall into the trap of paying top dollar for a pair of shades. There are many moderatly priced models that will out perform the more expensive ones(1 of the best pair I've had was a pair I got free with my western outdoors subscription). As for being able to see the fish, that is something that will take practice. Had a friend show me a steelie that was holding in water not more than 6 ft in front of me which would disappear and reappear as I was standing there looking at the spot. It was an amazing thing to see.(I guess they dont call them grey ghosts for nothing!)
