Don't know if these will work any better this time of year vs the rest of the year, but I keep hearing about winter patterns or winter colors and I got a little inspiration to tie.

What do you guys think - do certain patterns/colors work better in winter? If so, what are some of your favorites?
Dono, I usually fish about the same year long. Sure do look pretty though and I’m sure will work anytime.
Since I don't fish in winter, there is none for me so show, but I do have some Rabbit that should be kind of color wise like yours?

That bottom left one is similar to the forage minnow spoon we use through the ice. Very effective!
Tried these out today and not too surprised I caught fish on both, but they seemed to prefer the pink a little more. I personally don't think there's much to the "winter color" thing, but if it might get me more bites I'll give it a shot!
If they catch fish and give you a reason to be working on the vise, that's a win-win, eh?
It may be more a lake to lake thing. I definitely use baits on certain lakes during the winter and the fish will not touch the same bait in the summer. Back when it got cold enough to say we had winter if you were not using some kind of pink in your bait you were left holding an empty bag.
If you’d ask my wife, she’d say those are more spring colors then winter,,,lol
