Question on color selection

[ssauvain]

Hello all I am going to fishing Birch Lake Northeast of Ear Falls on a fly in this summer. Solopaddler said the water is a stained tannin color....I assume this is a dark water...what are the colors of choice in these waters for Walleyes and Lake Trout and Northern. Appreciate any help and thanks again....

If it aint chartreuse, it's got no use.

I've had good success with blue /silver, and even black / gold in tea stained lakes.

I agree two years ago we flew out of Ear Falls to Saddle Lake and it was a very dark water...and we killed them with blue/silver shad raps, wildeye's, and Husky Jerks.

i like to use copper harnesses #3-4 blade

and chartreuse/orange jigs with twister tails

good combo for tea stained water give it a shot you got nothing to lose

Works in clear water to, don't know why the fish love it.
