[cool][#0000ff]For the most part, you will not have to worry about spooking fish with a bright light craft. Lighter is better against a bright sky than darker colors. Fish are mostly color blind but are very conscious of dark objects overhead that might be predators. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I suggest that the efficiency of the "stealth mode" approach to fishing far offsets any potential for spooking fish because of tube color. There are lots of tubers and tooners who appreciate the added visibility of their brightly colored craft on top of the water and do not seem to notice any harmful effects on the fishies.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One thing that fly fisherfolk learn is that fish underwater have a "cone" of vision when they look up through the surface. The closer the fish are to the surface, the smaller the area that they can see above the surface around them. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In most cases you will be outside the fishes' cone of vision with the bright yellow. All you have to worry about is casting your bait or lure into their vision range, and being able to get their interest enough to bite.[/#0000ff]
