It turns out that larval forms of insects have huge energy value for their weight.. not surprising given that they need this stored energy to transform into the next stage of life.
(i.e. midges, mayflies, dragonflies, damselflies) so maybe they arelike energy pills for the fishies..
bait fish on the other hand were lowest...

Taking the advise of many on the list, I tied up some size 14 wooly buggers in olive and in yellow with a brown tail. Today I caught my first fish on a wooly bugger (not my first fish, but the first on a wooly bugger).
It was a 12 inch L.M. bass on a 14 bugger and a 6x tippet. Some fun. It was in a lake. The water was cloudy, but glass slick. No waves. I cast the fly about 2 feet from a log and brought it back slowly. Of course this was a place required by law to have a bass lurking under it. And it worked just like in the book. That fish charged the fly kicking up a wake. Grabbed it and dove straight down.
All of the action was deep under water. Good fish.
Which brings up a thought. Why would a fish waste that much energy on such a small meal? Why do fish go for small flies? They seem to go for the small fly in preference to other foods floating around. Of course we can't think like a fish, and so won't know the answer. Just a thought.
