Go to northern colors.......

[jcpmn82]

#1 Orange and black

#2 Orange and black

and if you don't use orange and black I would choose

#3 Orange and black

If you don't catch northerns on orange and black they simply aren't biting or there aren't any in the lake!!!! Any weather any time of the day, orange and black, overcast sunny rainy foggy snowing blowing etc... etc..... Orange and black... It's that simple.....

[RumRiverRat]

I like Perch colored Cranks.

They usually have Orange and Black on them.

[jcpmn82]

Oh yeah cranks, sticks, raps, etc. in perch, #4... For sure....

[fishuhalik]

White

white and yellow

white and green

black

black and red

[creepworm]

If it aint chartruese, it aint no use

[jcpmn82]

For my money you just can't beat the orange and black!!!! Sure other colors do work.... But orange and black are the money shot, for sure!!!!

[solbes]

Let's see. There's perch patterns, plain ol' white, silver/black shad patterns, gold, chartruese, chrome/blue, crayfish red, black, orange/yellow...

Great thing about northerns, you can zone in on a color and find out they are biting just as well on another. I love catching 'em.

Chrome/blue would be my top though, followed closely by white.

[shizzy]

Chartruse and black with white being my second choice.

[RumRiverRat]

Perch

Black and Gold

Silver

Chartreuse

[jcpmn82]

It's fall.... Time to target northerns!!!! Do me a favor and try throwing orange and black this fall!!! Let me know how you do....

[MIke A]

Large Black/silver and Perch colored raps have always done good for me. Remember trolling large black/silver #13's on Little Man Trap Lake a few years ago about this time of year and just killed the northerns!

[roughfish29]

big and black suiks

[TruthWalleyes]

It's fall.... Time to target northerns!!!! Do me a favor and try throwing orange and black this fall!!! Let me know how you do....

I think it is time for me to purchase an Orange & Black lure

[Aaron Carrell]

I'll 5th or 6th or whatever the Black and Orange comments.

This lure is my go to on any lake, any conditions, any time of year for pike fishing (and muskies at times too). Its a horrible picture, but black bucktail body, trailer hook with yellow twister tail and a "fire" colored blade that goes from chartreuse to a bright orange. The Candyspin!

[Hoffer]

aaron - awesome! where do I get some?

[BoxMN]

Perch crank, or Firetiger crank. We almost always draw the triangle black "stripes" on any cranks we get, to resemble the perch pattern, for pike or walleye. Sharpies are always in our box

But black and orange or black and chartruese are in general the colors on those lures, so I agree with the consensus for our fishing.

[merkman]

Stripes work no mater the color.

But if you want to see the big girls ya gotta use pink.

[Gordie]

chartuse and orange

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

I agree with pink, pink catches fish, just can't find pink lures very often.

So orange and black or perch patterns are good.

[Grunt L]

Anything gold and anything yellow.

[bassNspear]

yellow and orange is a great color for pike!

[Muddog]

Hammered Orange and Gold

Five of Diamonds

Chartreuse and Green

When I think Northerns I think spoons. They are fun when they are hitting Amazon Rippers though. I just love flying fish.
