EDDIE,
Where do yu live?
Here's a website with a "distribution" chart for freshwater jellyfish:
<http://nsm1.nsm.iup.edu/tpeard/ustates.html>
a,
as out fishing for bass today on a small lake/pond. Freshwater. As
I moved into the shallow area, there were these transparent white
things floating around. I had no idea what they were, but as I
looked closer, I could clearly see they were jelly fish. They look
like the smaller version of a Moon Jellyfish (i think that's what
they're called. No tenticles.) They were about the size of a
nickle, and literally there were hundreds of them. Has anyone seen
anything like this before, know what they are, or have any
information on these? It seems very strange to me. Any info is
greatly appreciated.
-Eddie

Del,
Dobson flies are not part of a fishes diet, to my knowledge. From
what I understand, they dont hang out much near the water once they
are hatched, except to mate. Who knows though, maybe bass and
trout love them. Try an oversized crane fly to try to imitate it.
The larva, as previously said, will catch small mouth all day long.
Trout love 'em too. There are many patterns out there. Black
Wolly Buggers, Whitlock's Helgramittes, Bill Skilton's Hellgramite.
Bills is my favorite pattern. I believe his website is
www.usaflies.com and the product he uses is a very shaggy chenille.
It looks alive in the water, even when it isnt moving. It works
wonders. if there isnt a picture there, let me know off list and
I'll tie one up for you.
No affiliation with Mr. Skilton, just a big fan. Very nice guy.
