Reef runner colors

[wakina]

Ditto on the spoons or harnesses for Summer fishing and cranks for Fall.

But when you do buy some get some of the bare naked series.

Sound advise indeed!

You will be arriving during or just after the peak of the mayfly hatch and that can have a major influence on presentations and bait selection.

I would add that maybe you should wait to purchase those spoons. That is if you change your mind about buying the crank baits. By wait I mean you should buy your spoons locally once you arrive at the lake.

Reason being is that what is the hot colors right now and catching fish can be dead colors by June 20. The difference in cost is minimal between online and purchasing local and you would be purchasing what is currently catching fish when you arrive and not what is catching fish now, which most likely will change somewhat by then.

I also would not limit myself to just the Mich. Stinger Scorpion spoons but would look at all of the spoons that are available wherever you decide to buy. Such as Wolverine Jr. Streaks, Gale force, and any of the several other spoon manufactures that are available locally. Ask the bait store owner/clerk what the hot colors are and they would probably be more than happy to show you the best in all of their inventory. Of course this is only a suggestion and the finale decision of what to buy and where rest entirely with you.
