I agree with Liketrolling. Something working "now", may not work "later", so don't hesitate to switch it up if your not catching. Granted all of my open water trips have been on the Utah side this year, but overall a silver dodger and pink squid or spinner has been best for me. I've caught fish on other colors, but silver/pink combos have far outperformed others in our boat. I've been using RMT 4.25" dodgers in Hyperplaid and Fusion and also the Lakeshore Tackle 4.5" dodger in Moon Jelly. The mini squids and plankton have been best overall, but I've recently upsized to the larger squids and even billed squids. We have a good year class of small Kokanee (11-13 inches) right now, and I don't like to release kokes, so I've upsized to try and avoid catching them. Along with fishing deeper (50-60ft), it seems to help. Other colors are sure to work as well, and even some of my buddies are having days where they're catching fish on about every color they drop down. I've recently heard good reports on purple, chartreuse, and black, in squids, spinners, and even spoons.
Hope it helps and you have a great trip, Ryno
