Is there anything they won't eat? We caught them on Certs once.

Cigarette butts will work too, for a short time.

When they are really into the mass feeding frenzy, they will hit a #2 gold-plated unadorned hook.

Many people poo poo the pan fish. But on a good clear lake or river (as Lake Madron or the St. Joseph river was years ago circa 1968) you could regularly find schools of BlueGill at 12", 2 1/2lb Crappie, and 3-6 lb Bass, along with some 'cats, pike, & small sturgeon you might see.

Fish are finicky, but if you figure out what they want to eat that day, you cant lose.

Same goes for trout fly fishing. While presentation is important, to many people get caught up in thinking that a $1000 bamboo rod etc., will do the trick for them.

If you watch the water and see what they are feeding on, then tie up a quick facsimile of that and throw it out, you cant lose.

Years and years ago my dad caught one using a marshmellow.

I remember floating behind the family boat waiting to be pulled up to go waterskiing. Several of the little buggers were tugging on my leg hairs. It was giving me the heebie jeebies and I was yelling at my dad to "GO!!". It took him forever to pull up the slack and get going.
