I don't often use nymphs for bass, but when I do this is a good bet. It is also excellent for crappie, gills, trout, and carp. A bit of an 'all-around' :headbang:

Mike, last summer when the water was so low and clear we seen the smallies feeding on nymphs and I couldn't buy a fish with a streamer. We came back with the trout boxes and nailed a ton of fish, so I am a new convert to fishing nymphs in those conditions.

 

This one gets a bookmark. :headbang:

I'm thinking big bluegills at Conesville. It might be a bit early, but I'm even thinking of making a run for in on Friday. Time for a vacation day, and that fly just convinced me I'll be fishing for bluegills.

Looks like about a sz 12 hook. Is that right?? I plan to tie some up to try in our farm pond.

I often go to nymph fishing when fishing is tough too, I don't know where I read this but they called it the M&M tactic. So you may be pissy or not feel hungry so the thought of eating something large isn't that appetizing, let alone having to chase it down and subdue it. But if I put a bowl of M&M's infront of you, no fuss no muss. It is very ease to snack. I've seen this true with my fishing.

 

I am never found without a nymph box while SM fishing.
