Just exactly what is a "waterdog" and when is the best time to fish a live one or a replica plastic one ?

The larval stage of a Tiger Salamander. They eat bass eggs while the bass are spawning so that is the best time to use one.

Last year you could get them at a few bait shops around Lake Fork. Those and Black Salties (black goldfish).
Anyone know if the shops around Fork have the Dogs this year?

I would love to find some water dogs. Hooked in the nose and flipped in a bed = game over.

They are kinda expensive. I want to say last time I found them several years ago they were $2.00 each.

They had tons of them last year at certain Fork marinas. But yes, they are real expensive.
Perhaps some of the guides can chime in? Not that they fish with them, but since they are in all of the Fork bait shops from time to time.

The store at the entrance to Fayette County lake used to sell them but I have no idea if they do anymore.
