    It is all regulated by DFG "Regions", each is a little different.
    I think in San Diego region they added silverside & golden minnows.. ????
    Colorado River Region you can used a lot of live baits even bluegill.????

    all is not lost, friend. There are tons of live baits you can use that will outfish minnows.

    ever used dragonfly nymphs? that's a common prey item in city-park lakes.

    Never used them. Sounds interesting. Where do I get them or how do I collect some?

    I hear you on the minnows bro. We KILL them up north in the winter when the artificial bite shuts down. As a matter of fact both mine and my wife's PB LMB were on live jumbo minnows!

    Bummer we can use them down here.

    they are fairly easy to find, they like to hang out around the margins of ponds and lakes, under leaf litter in the water. They feed on mosquito and midge larvae. just dig through the leaf litter in the shallow water along the shoreline, and you should find some.

    they also crawl through the weeds in the shallows.


    That's what they look like. Take the hook, and push it through the hood on their back, size 3 hook should be fine. Simple as that.

    The nymphs prefer shaded areas.
