Worms vs Nymphs for hard water Rainbows?
Worms or Nymphs for Rainbows? I am planning a trip for some bows in a lake up near Calabogie. I have read that a micro jig tipped with a worm or Nymph works well for Rainbows in small bodies of water. I am wondering what the community prefers, and if any baitshop sells Nymphs in the Ottawa area?

We've been catching stockers with the Power Bait Nibblets. Get a small hook, run some mono or flouro 12-14 inches up to your main line and slide the nugget on just above the hook on the mono.

Worms are my favourite. Also hard to beat a dace minnow on a set-line for rainbows.
Cant say Ive used Nymphs, though I have fished with wax worms for trout but always seem to switch back to the ol' dew worm! Single split-shot wacky rigged will get them chompin'

Hey Canmoore, if you wouldn't mind company let me know when you're going. I'm always wanting to go adventure out that way but I really don't know the area so I could use the help from someone who knows.
