Hellgrammites for Bass fishing Lake George?

[bulletbob]

couple of problems.. If you can find hellgramites for sale and use them, the perch and sunnies would tear the crap out of them before the SMB could get near them.. Second, they are illegal to take in any streams that hold trout in NYS, so harvesting your own is out, unless you want a ticket.. I would use small jigs or live crayfish in rocky areas of Lake George for SMB .. Either that, or buy minnows . Leeches would be great as well, but may not be easy to find...Very few bait places sell Leeches or Hellgramites, Most have minnows and crayfish... bob
