Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Costa Sunglasses Lens Color

In general, amber or copper lenses will be the best for freshwater and inshore saltwater - basically anything sight fishing related because it improves contrast. If you just want one all around lense, amber is your color. Grey is best for offshore, and a yellow lense helps in low light to make the most of what light is available. Some claim a mirror covering over the colored base helps better combat glare on brighter days, but I don't really see a difference personally.

I broke my grey Costa Hatches on a roller coaster. The repair costs for new lenses cost as much as a new pair of hatches, so I'm going to buy a different model with full frames instead. 

What color lenses do you suggest for fishing around trees and the environment we have in the DC area? I found my grey lenses to be a little too dark in the shade. Also, is there a big difference between glass and plastic lenses? I'd prefer 1 general purpose set of glasses, but I could be convinced to do eventually purchase 2.
