Water Clarity
Clear water improves the fish’s vision; stained water obscures its vision. In addition, fish are more alert in clear water as compared to stained water. Most predators use their eye sight to find fish. An osprey must first see a fish before it can catch one. A cloak of stained water simplifies the approach, while clear water complicates the approach.
