Just wondering if many of you like me use Dendrobaena's and Pinkies while fishing in an Estuary. They can have good results and I have caught plenty and a variety of fish using them  |

Dendrobaena
The Dendrobaena worm is one of the most popular earth worms used for fishing. It is a particularly tough and wriggly worm which can survive in cold water for long periods, remaining tasty and tempting to fish. Dendrobaenas can be used in brackish waters; dabs, mullet and other estuary fish have been caught using this fishing worm. In fresh water this worm is a favourite of carp, tench, roach, perch and bream. During the summer months our largest fishing worms are very popular for salmon and sea trout fishing.
Pinkies
The pinkie is about half the size of a maggot and is the larvae of the greenbottle fly. Available generally in white, red, bronze and fluoro pink, the latter being particularly popular with silver fish anglers on canals and drains.
Hope this bit of info helps :cheers:

They can have good results and I have caught plenty and a variety of fish using them Used Dendrobaenas to tip off gutted lug when i couldn't get out to dig whites , they worked well but the plain untipped baits caught just as much ................. haven't bothered since but at least it proved the fish were not put off by them :chef: |

Hi DB'y: It's always worth keeping a few pots of worms in the fridge. Then you can always go fishing if you get the urge Being close to an allotment and knowing some of the holders there, I am assured of a good and plentiful supply of these and other worms. |
