[#0000FF]Whatever you fish with confidence will catch more fish than something in which you have no faith.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have fished a lot of both gold and silver...all over the country...for lots of different species...under a lot of different conditions. I have my own personal opinions but they are just that...opinions.

[#0000FF]I do believe that a good general rule is silver in bright conditions and gold in lower light conditions. But there are variables in water clarity, temperature, etc. Similarly, some species seem to show preferences for one or the other...but can change completely in different waters under different conditions.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]The best plan is to carry both and don't hesitate to change it up if you know the fish are there but are not responding to your first choice. And you should also carry different sizes of the same lures. I have experienced a few times when merely dropping down one or two sizes...or increasing...made all the difference in fishy attitudes.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Okay now, if you really want to start some opinionated discussion, ask a generalized question about which color is best.
