Best lure colours for Ottawa river walleye

Post by BrookieJunkie »

I will ice fish the Ottawa for eyes in the near future. I will pick up: Swedish Pimples, Buckshots, Macho Minnows.

Should I buy orange or green coloured lures. Or should I try to find some that have orange and green (both colours)?

Thanks.

All of the above. Put down some deadsticks too. Figure out what they want that day.

Don't forget a silver champ. The Ottawa is pretty murky. Cheers

I agree....tipped with minnow head while jigging or just live minnows. It's hard to beat live minnows.
This year I spent most of my money on beer, women and fishing...the rest I wasted.
