[black][size 3]Hey Jen,[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I thought I was the only one that froze bugs in the freezer for fishing. Glad to know others do that kind of stuff too. I also gather stink beetles and moths and do that to. I put them in those little plastic tubs that tackle shops sell flies in - that way they don't get crushed in the freezer. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Another thing that works well(and don't you dare tell any of the fly fisherfolks this), but, I use those natural (frozen) bugs on my fly rod to get the kitties, bass, panfish, trout and carp in the shallows - on smaller hooks, just use a dab of super glue on the thorax to cement them to the hook - they also make good strike indicators if you do a dropper of a nymph off the end too.[/size][/black]

[size 3]BTW - I didn't notice your photo being attached to your post.[/size]
