fishingbobnelson 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2019 Babine Special Hook: Diaichi 2441 size 6 or equivalent Thread: UNI 06 Hot Orange Tail: CDC Puff Eggs; Hot Orange GLO Yarn One CDC White Feather between eggs Small White Marabou Build thread base, tie in small CDC Puff at rear of hook. Using any egg tying method tie on one egg and trim. Tie in one CDC feather by the tip. Stroking fibers toward the rear wrap like a hackle using as much of the feather as possible. Tie in second egg and trim. Pull off a small amount of Marabou and tie in like a wing, fibers should extend past hook. Build a good head, throw a couple of whip finishes and a couple coats of head cement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2019 We fished "eggs" for years on steelhead and salmon up north in Superior tribs by tying a snell knot on the shank of an up eye hook. Push a loop in the tippet and tuck a couple of different colors of yarn under loop, pull tight and trim as required. Use small pre-cut pieces of yarn and you didn't need to trim.

Bill_729 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2019 “The thing about fishing is that it gives a man hope. Each cast builds a little hope and if he can lose himself to that hope, then the worries and the heartache fade into the background. The wind inside him dies down for a while” The Royal Wulff Murders, by Keith McCafferty FishingBob, I just wanted to say that I think the quote above is truly lovely. Thanks for sharing! I looked up the book, but I think I would be more interested in just visiting Montana--In Person! : ) Bill_729 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I just read FishingBobNelson's "signature" above. Sorry if I caused any loss of continuity for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
