what color worms work best after heavry to light rain????? thanks fishingrulz1234

It depends on the water clarity and the water temp. For example if the water is 80 degrees and muddy I wouldn't even use a worm, use some thing more visible and fast moving ( crankbaits, spinnerbaits, etc. )

But if the water is cold and muddy you might have to resort to a black/blue jig or black worm.  

Basically let the water temp. and clarity dictate your lure choice and presentation.

Hope this helps.

basspro has it.  I think water clarity is one of the most important but overlooked factors in bait selection.  Unless you know for sure theres a fish sitting where you're casting..a silent worm will be hard pressed to get a fishes attention in muddy water.  A spinnerbait, crankbait, something moving faster and with vibration and/or rattle will definitely get some fat fishes attention in the haze.  

Just as he said though, if its colder, a slower moving bait will have to be the ticket.

as a general rule, the less visibility, go darker, but sometimes a bright bait can work pretty well.  

Clearer, go natural.

I have to disagree, BP.  We had just had the remnants of a hurricane that game through in August, I believe.  It was well before Hurrican Katrina, and the water in the Coosa River section of Lake Weiss, which is in Georgia, was the color of chocolate milk.  The temps were well into the upper 80's.

The ONLY thing that I was able to catch my fish off of was a Zoom Finesse Worm, in Icicle.  I had it T-rigged, using a 3/16 oz. bullet weight, with a 2/0 EWG Gamakatsu hook.

I fished it around rocks that were adjacent to weeds, on a shallow flat that was only 2 ft. deep.  I caught 8 bass that day, and I tried everything else in my tackle box.

Personally, I like to use natural colors after a rain.  Pumpkinseeds, pumpkin, etc.  Things like that.  I want something that is going to resemble a worm, or even perhaps a shad.  Just depends on where I am fishing.

I fish 3-5 times a week and water clarity only dictates color. I use a worm all year long in different ways. I used it several weeks ago at Clarks Hill in the back of a creek that was looking more like mud than water and the only thing they would bite was a worm. Dirty water Junebug Clear to light stain watermelons or green pumpkin. I have some great luck also with black in mud.That is a good rule of thumb to remember.

I used a Green Pumpkin on Kentucky Lake Sept.25,05 and smoked the fish on it texas rigged on 1/8oz jighead. GOOD LUCK
