black phoenix is right for bows and browns and brooks
for lakers, it all depends on where you live and what type of baitfish in the lake. They will probably be between 25-50 ft deep. Use 3 inch tube jigs, in colors white, chartreuse, purple and black. Tip with sucker. If you use tip ups, use 2-4 inch live smelt, or whitefish, or if you live in middle states like colorado, utah, kansas, nebraska, wyoming, etc. use live sucker about 2-4 in. check local regs. (use the live minnows under tipups.) This will put you on the lakers.
