Never heard of them. Where are you located? Could you put it in your profile please? Thanks.

Ibclyde Loc: Cloverleaf Lakes Wisconsin

Looks like Jed is from California
Isn’t that the profile

We use Rosie Reds a lot here but mostly in the winter for ice fishing
They are a very hardy minnow in the cold
But don’t do well in the warm weather up here

EasternOZ Loc: Kansas City Metro

They call them rubyreds here, had a cousin that is the only kind he would use.

How about you Ib, where in Wisconsin are you located?

We use them ice fishing as well. I will use them in spring until the water reaches 60 degrees, and on warm days I put some ice cubes They don't hold up as well in heat. I use fatheads or Gulp in warmer conditions.

Don't use ice cubes freeze a bottle of water, the chlorine in the drinking water kills them faster.

I didn't see his location before. Maybe he hadn't updated it then OR I was just was blind and didn't see it. Anyway, thanks.

Thanks Ib. When you have a minute would you please add it to your user profile. Just in case others are in your area looking for fishing info.

Only if you're from Calif. There aren't many towns around Yosemite.

A friend & I were camped out fishing cedar bluff reservoir in western kansas. After the first fruitless day we decided to try minnows. The bait shop guy said all he had was the red minnows. We tried a few then went back for more. Those pale red minnows worked great in that lake. The red comes from a dye put in the water that doesn't harm the minnow. I have also used green worms but couldn't see that the color helped.

They have a red lined side minnow in Lake Tahoe. They work for the fish in there.
