I recently had several people ask me what the most important factors are for finding and catching walleyes on crankbaits in Lake Erie or Lake St. Clair. IMO, being able to read the water color and/or find the right water color is THE biggest factor. This is second nature to those of us that have been doing this for many years. However, if you are new to the trolling game, you may not know what you are looking for. What's "too muddy" look like? What's "too clear" look like? What does "just right" look like? What role does weather or light conditions play in selecting the "right" water color? What patterns are best for each situation? Therefore, I decided to write an article about it and post it on my website. Here's a link to it if anyone is interested:
