NUV, near ultraviolet is visible to insects, birds, fish and some children, 300-400 nm.

Thought I add that to the discussion.

Humans that have the disease/anamoly Aphakia are also known to be able to see into the UV spectrum.    They also have smaller pupils and there eyes dilate less.

Everyone should keep their options open when discussing science when nature is in play.

The demise of the Spotted owl is a good example. Over harvesting the northwest forest was blamed for the crash of the spotted owl population. Tree cutting was stopped, the lumber industry suffered billions of dollars in loss and 10 of thousands jobs lost as the industry shut it's doors. The science was faulty, the Barred owl , a larger cousin, was killing and displacing the Spotted owl, evolution at work, not the lumber industry.

We don't know how bass see color, we know they do.

We also know spotted owl is great barbequed!  It tastes just like Eagle! 

Hehe, wonder if Flyfisher will see this...

I have been reading this entire thread, and, I've come to this conclusion, after much thought , bass see whatever it is that they see relating to color , and, I catch as many as I can no matter what it is they see or how it is percieved to them........SOOOO.......I'm  going fishin with the same old, match the hatch ,colors I've been using all the time, and you guys can argue about how and what colors bass can see........

That seems like a fitting end to this thread.

 

Good night Irene.
