Different colors work on different days and different locations but as far back as I can remember red has been considered the go to color, the fish slayer. I have a large collection of outdoor books on fishing and hunting. Many I’ve collected are from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Many of them talk about the color red being effective on lures and flys. One of the most famous fishing spoons ever invented is the Daredevil created 120 or so years ago and it is red and white. The Royal Coachman dry fly also one of the most famous flys and also created over 120 years ago has a red body. It looks like no insect in the US but can be quite effective. Is it the red body that makes it effective? No one knows.
In the 1930’s my father was writing a book on fishing. In his notes he mentions that he found the color red to be most effective for bass and walleye (this was in Michigan where he fished).
The postulation of red being a fish attractant color has been around for at least 150 years. Been published in books, magazines and articles. As a kid I would paint a red stripe or splotch on many of my lures. They seemed to catch more fish.
So is there anything to the red color being a killer fish attractant? No one can say for sure either way. Just have to go with what you believe, your instincts and your observations.Hunting, Fishing and Labrador Retrievers and at the end of the day a glass of Buffalo Trace Whiskey- Life is Sweet.

I've been having good luck with different colors of UV tape, Stickers, and UV paint. Dirty water Chartruese, clear water pink, blue, black has been pretty good.
