How can i tie this one?

[Sockeye guy 0]

I want to tie some flies for fishing the salt for Coho in Alaska this summer. I use a double hook rig. I tie the hooks with an egg knot and then have a stinger at the back of the fly. My question is this. How can i tie a fly on the hook if the shank is covered with line from the knot? any suggestions?

Just tie your materials over whatever line you have on the hook shank... unless I'm missing something?

I tie something similar when fishing for kings. If you are not using the egg loop to hold roe then just tie over it. I am trying something a little different this year. My bottom hook will be a fly I tied and my top hook will hold roe. I will be playing with some different variations throughout the year. Send me a message if you want to see any pics. I should have a bunch tied this weekend for the up comimg long weekend.

That is exactly how i rig my hooks. Just like a king rig however i will not be using any eggs with them. a small strip of herring on the hook maybe. I just did not know if i could tie over the knot. I will be using them in the salt for kings and coho. I will be using an egg loop knot with a trailer hook. Can i tie over the knot on the first hook in my rig and leave the trailer hook plain?

Sorry, these are not my best ties but they are about to be in a King's mouth soon. The 1st is tied on the bottom the the second hook is the egg loop. The second and third are tied over the top hooks egg loop. Hope this helps.
