My standard good fishing glasses are copper and are about 10 years old. Down in the keys a guide I fished with had vermilyea colored glasses that he claimed worked over the mud bottoms there. I have lost 2 good pairs of them without hardly ever wearing them over water so I cant report how they worked.

As mine are older they have the sideshield that you attach when fishing and they have worked for me fine from Monomoy to Key West.I have an eyedoctor friend who swears that keeping out glare is about the most important thing that you can do for fishing.

I cant say that mine didnt work but if there is a potential local edge to see fish over that inland discolored sand I would have liked to have tried it.Sort of like trying to figure the grain when putting on Florida greens.The locals always seem a step ahead.

A couple more things I should add about that so called mud. The guides are very spooky about the smell of suntan lotion on your flies and of course before I left along with getting my affairs in order in case that little plane went down my wife kept telling me to make sure that I put suntan lotion on thru out the day.Quite a conflict guide or wife. I quickly learned to ask for the guide to scoop up mud and rub onto my hands and the fly after applying some lotion.. Fact or superstition? I dont know but I did it anyway. The other is that mud felt great on sunburned parts that I missed.:]
