Successful area trout fishing requires the mastery of several parameters. Among these parameters, the color of the lures is fundamental. Here are the basic colors you need to cope with the often fickle moods of trout in reservoirs.
Pellet colors
The choice of lure colors is often decisive in the success of reservoir fishing.
Among the classic colors often used are brown, brown or khaki. These rather atypical colors are characteristic of area fishing. In fact, these colors mimic the color of the pellets and granules fed to these trout. Naturally, these salmonids will be attracted to colors that are reminiscent of their food.
It simply imitates the artificial food with which these trout are fed.
It's a very effective coloring for less active fish that you want to decide with a "feeding" approach.
The timeless color pink
Less edible but particularly effective, pink is one of the basic colors. It's hard to say why trout are so reactive to this specific color, but it remains a safe bet. It is often underused by anglers. Moreover, pink is not only effective on rainbow trout, it is also a formidable color on brown trout, both in reservoirs and in the wild.
Other flashy, UV or glow (phosphorescent) colors should not be overlooked either, as they can make all the difference in murky waters or low light conditions. To effectively activate the phosphorescence or check the fluorescence of a lure, you can use a UV lamp (blue light) which will instantly change the lure's color.
Flashy colors are very effective at the start of a session or competition, when your lure needs to stand out and be highly attractive.
Natural colors
Finally, there are also natural, ghost (transparent) or metallic colors, imitating small fish or all kinds of prey. Instinctively, trout are predators, adapting to the food present and not refusing easy prey imitating a fry.
These colors are effective when flashy colors do little or no good in a competition.
