Yellow, white, and a combination of yellow-white skirts work best in our natural lakes. Perch can be very specific about which lure they strike, and at almost any time might choose a lure with a red-white, purple, green, or some other colored skirt.
The National Cholesterol Education Program defines a desirable total cholesterol level as less than 200 mg/dL, and levels for most women stay in the healthy or desirable range until middle-age. But between the ages of 45 and 55, women's average total cholesterol rises to almost 220 mg/dL.
Your HDL should be at least 40 mg/dL, according to guidelines from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Since lower levels of good cholesterol appear to cause greater risk of heart disease in women, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that women's HDL be at least 50 mg/dl.
