As we mentioned there, it can be harder to sell your lure to a fish when you are ice fishing which makes the color even more important. You don’t want it to be too bright that it looks alien to the fish but obviously if it’s too dull then it’s not going to be able to attract their interest.
Choosing the best color is all about adapting to your surroundings and simply thinking about how much light is getting down into the water below. There are many different things that can impact this such as the sunshine, ice thickness, snow cover and color of the water so you have to take in all these factors before choosing the right color for your fishing trip.
Conditions can change quickly though so having a set with a different range of colors can be a great idea as this means that you won’t be caught out and you’ll always have the option of changing your lure if your conditions change. Experimenting with colors is always important as even with all the information in the world, you can never be 100% certain of what will work.
