I've tried all sorts of helgramites and the wooly bugger and maybe Murray's helgramite seem to work as well as anything. BTW, in my youth real hellgrammites were a fabulous bait. I've tried many flies, any none come close to the real thing. Most large helgramite patterns don't have the motion of a live critter, or the smell either. The only ones that are close in motion are buggers and Murray's helgramite. None have the smell.
Also, why under your name do you have two green dots when the rest of us have one?
Because Jeff K is twice as smart as almost everyone else on the board. And four times smarter than others![]()
Hellgrammites are creepy!!!!
Dobson flies are creepier. Downright scary creatures. Hellgrammites are scary enough but then they turn into those creatures.
