    Gold……..

    Whatever it is, make sure it is gold………

    If you don’t use gold, use SHINNY GOLD……..

    IF that don’t work, use DULL GOLD……….

    If all else fails……..go GOLD

    Have some orange too………but I prefer GOLD

    Either red lures or lures that glow red have always been good for me! Otherwise any type of rattle or noise lures!!
    good luck let us know how you do!!!

    Yep, the water is really tea stained.

    Buckshot rattle jigs work well…..In GOLD color…..

    Get some glows too, like Cal said.

    LOTW was home to the classic “76” spinner blade……….That is the classic orange blade……..

    That should help you out.

    Where are you going out of?

    Gold, Glow and Yellow Glow Devils from Scenic Tackle. For slip bobbers a # 4 or #6 Demon Glow with small shiners.

    Dr. Walleye,

    All good colors and baits but, don’t forget silver and your chartreuse’s.

    Give a #4 Chubby Darter in the GMO (gold metalic orange) a try. This a great swim bait!

    Good luck and have lots of fun. It’s generally turkey shoot up there!

    It sounds like I need to do some shopping. I have a couple gold Angle Eyes that should work. I am going out of Zippel Bay on January 8-11th. I have to order now so I can get a deal on all this stuff.

    Red Glow Glo Devil is hard to beat on LOTW. That is my personal preference. I fish the lake a little bit After Red Glow, I will take the all Glo Glow Devil. When they are not taking jigging spoons, get out the dead sticks
