  1. Bum knee...they could have put you in a wheelchair and rolled you up to the Manchester hole.
  2. I use both materials. For smaller eggs (size 16 or 18), I use the yarn. The erie steelhead just seem to dig the yarn eggs better in low and clear conditions. When the water is dirty, I will use bigger eggs (12 and 14) made out of the foam. The foam comes in some bright colors that are great for dirty water.
  3. Hello All, I really just started tying this year and wanted to know if anyone adds scent to their flies. Does it make a difference and what kind of scent do you use? I have read in a few places that people use scents (like anise oil) to mask the human scents on the flies and as an attractant. EGG!
  4. SD, Yep, that's me...you have a good memory....must have been all the Straub luvinbluegills - i'm sloppy joe from fisherie...we've crossed paths a few times on the Ohio and Allegheny River. Lookin forward to the steel with an improved arsenal. Besides the usual suspects (sucker spawn, crystal meth, glo bugs, half and halfs, scrambled eggs) , I've tied up some beadhead PT nymphs, some stones, some simple caddis patterns, san juans, and buggers. My buggers are still a little rough though. EGG!
  5. Hello from Pittsburgh...new member here. I am a new tyer, but an avid steelheader in the PA tribs. In my previous life I was a baitchucker, but learned the goodness of fly fishing for steelhead over the past 2 seasons. My name is egg because egg patterns are all I can effectively create at this point. Working on my nymphs and seem to be getting a little better. These cooler days in Western PA and rainy conditions have me dreaming of cold steel... EGG!
