How close to area 51 are you? I reckon DonO's Los Alamouse may be the
culprit here.....

Subject: [VFB] Freshwater Jelly Fish?!!?!
Was 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.

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.
