Khaki Has been good. Plus gold black. You would want a wonderbread or other white bandit also. Depending on water clarity and sunshine other colors get hot as well. A bunch of custom colors are very good. I only fish Lake Erie for a week beginning of June. Fishing around the islands. You sometimes need to move around. Way to silted brown water is not good. Sometimes super clear water is to much. Normally look for partly silted water.
