GeorgeMcFly 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 made some oregon cheese glue eggs last season and tried them out but didn't get a bite even tho they match steel eggs to a tee! well now that I got that milky egg veil I added some to the glue eggs I like the results! will see if this will entice the steel to eat them. keep ya posted if I catch a steelie on them and heres the pix!

carolinafisherman 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 Can't claim to be an expert on steelhead, but those eggs sure do look delicious... Shame that I can't fry 'em up for a late night snack! -CF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeMcFly 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 haha! ya man I agree they look so real! figures I get mad bites on all the top patterns I posted above just not the most realistic glue eggs ever!! what is wrong with that picture? lol. thats why I added egg veil to it. maybe it will help. if not maybe add krystal flash to the back as a tail along with the egg veil? keep ya posted. river is flooded now but weathers warmer now cause it was frozen a week or so ago so this is a great sign of spring coming! this flood will bring the fish into spawn! post pix if I get some!

Flyfish Dog 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 Looks great Mcfly! I would probably do some on the Elk down here when the water levels drops back down. BTW may be up that way next week hopefully but will wait til settle a bit before I do. Need to get away from crap hole down here and go after some real fish instead of pellet fed trouts.

bad fish rising 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2010 try the ripple crush its the globug with a wrap or 2 of estaz behind it. also try a small veil of egg yarn in front of your estaz eggs . sometimes the little things make the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mxdad66 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 Nothing wrong with what you are tying,White SS was pretty hot on the Grand before the big blowout. If you do beads,Salmon Roe works very well,see ya on the stream. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
