There's a post on the board today getting some attention on smallie colors. It got me thinking about my favorite colors by species. The color I start with until proven it's not working.

Lake trout - Gold and Orange or Gold and Red
Brook Trout - Same (Gold and Orange or Gold and Red)
Walleye - Chartruse or blue and silver
Smallmouth - Softer / Earthy tones
Northern - I don't target northern, just seem to pick them up on any of the above.

Lakers...rainbow trout pattern caught fish one day consistently when the rest of the tackle box didn't get a hit. That's the first thing I have on now when trying for them followed by the purple variants
