Does anyone have a preference in lens color for all round fishing situations ? I've only really ever used brown lenses, I've been happy with them all round but I'm wondering if I'm missing out by not using some of the other options available.

If its solely for fish spotting amber is better imo. If you're wearing them all day to shield the sun then copper is better.

Spot on Yonny. I'm amazed how few people wear amber lenses...they do look a bit daft but perfect for 99% of conditions.

I bought a pair of Oakley, shallow water prizms a couple of years ago and they are perfect for ALL light levels apart from serious gloom. I don't know how they do it.....but they do it!

I saw the same review from the fly fishing mag and purchased 2 pairs, amber and smoke and still using quite a few years later. Find them excellent for vision, lightweight and very comfortable.

Flying Fisherman Calcutta are good, they came out as the top recommendation by a fly fishing magazine a few years back, around £30.

All the Flying Fisherman glasses get good reviews. I've two pairs of the San Jose model one in gunmetal for everyday use and copper for fishing LINK

Yeah, on a couple of occasions I've passed my Calcutta's to a mate who didn't have their glasses on them so that they could see what I could - and every time it's been “bloody hell, they're good, what are they?” Bought another mate a pair for his 40th, he's well impressed. Very decent Polaroid's indeed, and for the price... 👌
