I'm going to get some new prescription sunglasses and would like to
get polarized lenses for fishing. Does anyone have any wisdom to lay
on me re lens color, etc. ? Thanks.

Depends on how you tend to use them. I like copper colored for rivers, and
gray for lakes. If you fish near twilight, a bright amber might buy you
some fishing time.

Light amber/yellow is an amazing lens color. You would swear it's like
someone turning on a light bulb in the evening when light is fading.

It's an illusion (i.e., not real).

No kidding? I mean, are you seriously suggesting that putting on tinted
glasses doesn't increase ambient light?

Wow.......ain't science grand?

The contrast enhancement in fading light is real.

....I use yellow lens clip-ons for night driving, they do a great job of
cutting glare from headlights and on overcast grungy days, really brightens
things up.
