Wigglers

[slymer83]

Anyone know the best way to keep Wigglers (mayfly nymphs) for the weekend i imagine i keep them in the water and can i preserve them for use in the summer?

I ve kept them for weeks on end. Usually buy 4-500, and keep them in my bait frig, in a sytrofoam minnow bucket. Change water every couple days. Done it for years.

I would use creek water if you have acess to it .  They are dipped from lakes or streams.
