Pretty much get an assortment of all different colors as you won't always know exactly what condition/color the river will be. But classically pinks, whites, orange, peach, red, black, purple. Typically you will want to use the darker colors like the black and purple when the river is low and clear such as at reiter ponds in august. And the brighter colors are more of a average winter flow lure. I'm not saying that those colors won't work in the opposite season, they just seem to work better as mentioned.
