last year I fished the Arroyo area in lower laguna... ha, yes, not LA, but it was windy and MUDDY like a lot of LA. Dark skies too. We caught most of our fish on a Rootbeer color and as it was getting darker we ran out and all I had was pearl and clear glitter. We caught fish on both of those too. clear glitter in muddy (highly turbid) water with clouds and sun hitting horizon and getting darker...

I like to have 2 lights and 2 darks with me that I have confidence in. More important to locate fish and be casting in fish.

Thanks for the information guys. I'm glad to hear that color selection doesn't have to be so complicated.
