I have also used these said colors on darker water flowages like the dairyland in rusk county, also worked there lol. I dont mean to hijack here but anyone use these on clearer lakes up north WI or MN? What colors worked?
thanks for all the suggestions guys, sounds pretty simple and a lot cheaper than my musky gear. Only one question and that is what colors for jigs, plastics, rapalas, and such in the clearer water? Apparently the lake isnt the normal super dark copper stained water but more clear. I know with musky i would match the hatch and go with more natural golds, browns, blacks, blues etc. But with walleye videos i often see guys with purple and pink and more bright colors despite the clear water.. So what colors do the eyes prefer in clearer water?
Early June ? Where you going ? Could be close to ice out 
We are going through greens fly ins, poplar grove camp on Birch Lake 65 air miles NE of Red Lake.. So its up there lol. With the way this spring is going very well could be close to ice out

The biggest shallow runner shad rap in walleye pattern always worked the best for us on big pike. Fished it like a jerk bait they can’t resist it.
thanks for the tip, after we get bored of catching walleyes catching some big pike will be the other focus. Im bringing my lighter musky gear along with all the baits that can work for both like bucktails, spinner baits, phantoms, smaller swim baits and topwaters and buzzbaits. Gonna be a ball due to the group im going with catching about a dozen over 40 accidentally (claimed)every trip.We shall see! should get some good go pro footage.

If you need live bait why are you going all the way to Canada?
Didn’t say i needed it, in fact i highly doubt that it would will necessary and it will likely be unavailable. Was just stating it to avoid suggestion of live bait. And yes i see the color pattern, thanks.
we found out that if it was gold or copper colored, we didn’t even need anything extra. I even took a copper Sanka Coffee measuring spoon, drilled holes for a treble hook & a swivel, & caught both northerns & walleyes every time out.
I have heard similar instances from the guys that have been up to the place we are going as well, they dropped down martini olives as well as the sour gummy worm candy and licorice on jigs and all got bit lol.
