Anything you find should be considered a rough guideline. For instance,
there are some back waters I fish that tend to be gin clear. If it is even
the least bit stained you better switch to night time muddy water baits with
a big profile and a huge rattle. Then you got to hit them on the nose with
it.

That same bit of mild stain might be considered clear to lightly stained
elsewhere, but there its like pea soup to those fish.

Would someone provide a link or general rule on identifying the water
clarity classification. (clear, stained, muddy, etc)?

Thanks,
