This book is a little more technical than Sosins and concentrates more on steelhead than bass, and doesn't explore a lot of night vision, mostly daylight in which they did experiments on bass and they could see different colors, and even fishing line down to 4# test. I also came across a magazine article some time ago the said the same thing written by another Doctor of optometry and I recall he said daytime then can see colors well but nighttime is a different shades of gray world. The fact that fish can't speak has nothing to do with it.
That said, light (colors) and dark (colors) are perceived differently, they just can't differentiate between yellow and say green at night.
Now that I picked it up I am going to re-read this, I forgot how cool this is.

Sandman,
Sorry if I come across in crass manner.I was just stating my opinion in a matter of fact manner..As I usually do.
I meant no disrespect..
While doctors who specialize in optometry will dissect a fish's eye to break down what makes it tick.They can also run all kinds experiments in controlled situations. The conclusions can not considered 100 percent fact.Them same doctors with the fancy Placards whose funding for these experiments come from grants.(This alone can lead to slanted results..)Will be the first to tell ya the same thing.. This makes their claims theoretical ..
I can tell ya a fact..There have been times like Flap noted.At night, when if you did not have a specific odd ball color (Like pink) you where not catching.So in usual fashion, I have question the results of these experts.
To me real life experience trumps doctors hypothesis..
Agian just my opinion.I in no means have any intention of slanting the experts.I just wanted to make a point..
