2 July 2009 - Variety is the spice of fishin'
I would guess that you don't eat the same thing for every meal, every day. I don't and I don't think the fish do either, if given a choice.
Where we guide, here in Maine, each of the different forage items and many of the same, are different colors, even on the same lake. The craws can be many different colors, because they don't molt at the same time. As for the minnows, they can be seen in a kaleidoscope of colors. Cap'n Chuck and I prefer the "light, dark and in between" approach to color choices. At the beginning of the day, we start with whatever we grab first, and work from there, fine-tuning as we go. Don't get in a rut and don't fear experimentation.
