Default "What Fish See" in Drift Bobbers?

I have been reading Dr. Kageyama's Book - "What Fish See" - Amato Publishing. While not finished with the book, I have been focusing on the best drift bobbers for winter steelhead drift fishing. Dr. K's book verifies what many have known for years: The two best colors for most winter conditions are 1. Pink/white (opalescent) and 2. Fluorescent Red or Orange. I certainly agree.

My question is - what about the new GLITTER drift bobbers. I have found them to be very effective, but was wondering how they fair in Dr. K's "See-Best" system. I seems that the glitter would work with any type of filtered light.

Does anyone know how to contact Dr. K and whether he accepts questions or comment via email? Anyone else like the GLITTER drift bobbers? Thanks, in advance, Drifter.

Fishermans and GI Joes have at differat times the box that the Dr. uses to show the differance in colors,you should check them out and drop in differant colored corkies and see if they show up well in the box.I haven't seen one in awhile but I haven't been looking either.There just a box with a light inside,Ithink its a black light not sure ?? :whazzup:

It was a flash light with different colored lenses. Each lens was a different filtered level to duplicate the water color. Me and a friend mest around with one and we found that the most popular colors were the ones that showed up the best. No surprises.
