Were the long red "bugs" wormlike in appearance?

sounds like a worm hatch...use little red rubber worms...they actually sell some that comes in a jar...deadly for the hatch...

Got to small, unweighted pink plastic worms / jigs / flies - still not guaranteed to catch though fish can be pretty stubborn on a hatch but the fishing can be pretty good too

Get some red berkely power worms in red and then take a sharpie and blacken the head...then cast it out there on a casting egg

French fries work on me. I always get fooled by ones that have a little ketchup on them.
