As Dave has reminded me of Clearwing lures, I tried out my VES in the garden yesterday hoping to get Yellow-legged which has alluded me so far. It still has, but a single Orange-tailed did appear. I've had these before and this one didn't linger so no photo I'm afraid.
I do wonder what the shelf life of these lures is. The ones I am using must be at least 5 years old and I use them every year usually with some success. Storing them in the freezer as recommended obviously helps, but I keep thinking I should renew.

i'm past 10 years and often have mine out of the freezer for 1-2 days at a time and they still seem to work but whenever nothing turns up I do think exactly the same thing :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know Marc. Plenty of life left in them yet then :)
