stripedbassjeff Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Gross! Probably work though. Never had luck myself. They pop when you stick a hook in them. Fishing is not my hobie,it's my obsession! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfnfish93 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ive caught some bullheads on them but where I was fishing didnt have trout... They kinda look like a mix between mealworms and earthworms so they must work for trout haha Constantly walking the line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetwater Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 They are cicada larva. Never had much luck with them. I have become too old to drink bourbon on the rocks. I will still drink it in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKnot Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks guys , i have a nice 21 acre pond a few miles from my house .It has many bullheads and largemouth there i will give them a shot . As for the trout i will stay with my rooster tails and mepps , i have also used worms meal and night crawlers in the past . my uncle used to farm his own mealworms , i may do the same for my trout bait . Spent a hour or so with some berkley powerbait targeting some bullheads tonight no takers . chris . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wader Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sweetwater, I think they are japanese beetle or june beetle Grubs. This is a cicada grub /nymph "May your travels always take you to where the water meets the shore" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_tin_squid Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 They work like crazy here in RI for trout and perch, we use japanese beetle grubs and those gross white maggoty guys you can buy at Petco, I think they're called waxworms?

TheKnot Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks tin i will try them on some drifts my next trip to my fav trout stream . There easy to grow on your own , I just leave tree mulch thats free from the town in a pile . Move it around and there always there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetwater Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well, that makes sense. I had thought that the grub was the larval stage and the midge you show was the pupa stage of the cicada. Instead, it appears that they are different animals. Looks like I am reteaching the boy, LOL I have become too old to drink bourbon on the rocks. I will still drink it in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKnot Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 sweet water your correct , there only there at the end of the season when i turn over my gardens . Grow them is the wrong term , anyway as tin said they work like crazy here on LI also . Got out to the river today and had a small hook filled with grub suspended about 2ft under a bobber . I was able to hook up with a few little trout , first fish on my new setup . The shimano sellus is nice at 6' 8" medium power, fixed with a small okuma stratus cs-25 winch so far is solid . Both fish where released these little guys where a product of the fall stocking . TIn your post got me out there with the grubs thanks again chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerrickT Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Really don't think it would be any different then butter worms IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
