Color Pattern Question
I'm learning my way through another season of Lake Erie walleye. I primarily troll the entire season. I'm looking for any thoughts on what color pattern you follow based on light/water conditions. I try to find something the fish are hitting on and then adjust from there, but that can be time consuming when I just have 2 rods in the water. I'd like to refine my starting point to hopefully find the right pattern sooner. I have read about the following general guidelines;
Definitions First:
Bright light = sunny late morning/midday
Low light = daybreak/dusk and overcast conditions
Clear Water= 3ft or more, easily see my prop
Colored Water = can't easily see my prop
Conditions:
1) Bright light/clear water = silver/chrome metallic or reflective natural bait patterns (also some "ghost"/translucent)
2) Bright light/ colored water = bronze/gold metallic, green, chartreuse, pink, natural bait patterns
3) Low light / clear water = dark colors (black,purple, blue)
4) Low light / colored water = anything that gives a contract in the water
Anyway, thanks for any input!
