I’m amazed how well blue can be seen on the water.  The water is green and the sky is white or light blue,  cannot see the camo or dune guys...

If you carry around a net that flies high, you might be able to die the netting with a high vis color and then you could forgo a flag some people mount...paint the net rim. Might attract E.T. hunters

look up SOLAS tape (Safety of Life At Sea) it's a super reflective tape - price not bad, and seems to stick to everything forever

Thanks for the SOLAS tape reference. Apparently it’s CG approved and very sticky. However, on Amazon one reviewer said this tape won’t adhere to round surfaces. This is an issue for me because I needed reflective tape for the round part of the twist n stow rudder on my Revo.
I ended up buying the Saltzman 3M tape, which has excellent reflection, and it sticks, but it’s rigid and won’t adhere to the rudder drum.
Luck favors the prepared

The international coast guards did a study of the most visible color in the ocean quite a few years back.  The color?  It was blue.
