White fish are in the trout family and there diet is almost identical. This time of year chronomids should work well, I'd bet a small San Juan worm would be a hit. When the ice comes off, the fishing can be fantastic, not sure if any lakes are open. Chrommies should be hot until the water gets warm enough to push them down, I've had real good luck on a small B52 in May and June, it's a caddis imitation.
To answer your question about the yellow and red, not sure it represents anything. Whitefish seem to pick up a lot of things that don't really look like anything. I've had great success with Russian Jigs and they don't look like anything I've ever seen in the water.
Thanks for the complement. I'll post more as I tie.
