flyfisher76544 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 Sorry, my cam is toast after several storms blew thru!!! We where out on Belton lake(central Texas) and the White Bass were boiling the water after these nymphs. They are white in color, about an inch and a half in length. There was a Whitefly hatch this weekend, but can these be the same nymphs? The whiteflies are only about a quarter of an inch after they hatch? Any help would be appr!!

I was able to get them to strike a wooley bugger though. I had originally thought they were chasing the shad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluegills too. Look into the little section of water in Clifton if you are ever around there. Sandies, blues and channel catfish, and blackbass are just waiting for your fly. I also miss the area below Stillhouse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
