    Blue mirrors out on open water but the green mirrors/amber inside tint are better for all around and when there’s shady spots..… the blue mirrors come up short when fishing a wooded shoreline with sun behind it.. the dark spots in the shade get too dark..

    that’s my experience..

    I wear Costas and started with blue mirror for most fishing and green mirror only for sight fishing. I probably wear the silver mirror most of the time now even for driving. The mirror is really just there to knock down the glare. The blue and silver mirror have a grey tint/base while the green mirror is an amber tint.
    It's hard for me to wear amber lenses all day every day. It bugs me a bit.

    I like a copper or yellow lens helps to see into the water
    Open water is gray. It blocks the sun

    Costa green lens most of the time. Silver for sight fishing and blue for really bright sunlight.

    I like Costa 580G lenses. Blue mirror when it's sunny, green mirror when it's hazy or cloudy. I just picked up a pair of the new King Tide 8's. They're the most comfortable frame I've found since they discontinued the Man-O-War version years back. The Tackle Trap is a Costa dealer and always has a great deal for BBC members, just give the shop a call if interested - 315 234 1050.
