What are the best lenses for everyday fishing? Like a multi use lense? Amber? Green? Blue? Need some help before purchasing because I don't plan on buying more than one pair.

Everybody's eyes are different. I personally like the Silver or Green mirror.

I'm a Silver 580g man but you might prefer a different lense depending on your eyes like Brandon said. I think one of the most popular and recommended general usage polarized lense is blue.

For all around use, driving, fishing, around town, I prefer the copper base 580. Either in Glass or Plastic.
The copper base is a little lighter tint than the amber and doesn't seem to change natural colors as much.
If you want mirrors, you'll need to go with silver. That's the mirrored lenses that have the copper base.
There seems to be alot of misconception and misinformation on Costa's lense/mirror combinations.
Costa has 4 lense colors. In order of light penetration. Or in other words, darkest to lightest.
Grey
Amber
Copper
Sunrise
And 3 encapsulated mirrors.
Blue
Green
Silver
Here's the combinations
Grey=Blue
Green=Amber
Silver=Copper
Hope that helps.

My buddy has some green mirror 580g and they look exactly like my copper kaenons. I thought you could get green mirror with copper?
