The larger sized nympsI can cast on a spinning  rod and reel filled full with two lb test without a casting bubble .This year I may try the flyrod with them and /or acasting bubble in the small creeks and rivers .Trout catchers for sure but I suspect gills YPerch and other fish will go for them too!

went fishing a couple days ago and fished with power bait and gold kastmaster and caught only 1 on the gold k/m.then a guy using dough bait with corn mixed in it ,started to catch some i asked him for some and we had a blast catching them,but the guy left and i did not get all the receipt the stuff was very tacky i wonder if or what he added to be like that,i am thinking karo syrup, anyone have a receipt that worked for them?
