this time of year in michigan just about every vise has an egg pattern being tied glo bug yarn comes in alot of colors but sometimes you can't find the color you want well here is a bit of a tip you might not know
glo bug egg yarn can be dyed very easily with food coloring just add a few drops to some warm water let the yarn soak for 10 minutes pull out rinse and let dry once it is dry it wont wash out best color to buy for dying it yourself is the egg color hope this helps out a few people

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading".--Thomas Jefferson

There is no such thing as a blank day for a fisherman. It will be saved for him by the white-throated weasel, who watches his fishing from a hole in the wall under which is lying a fish that refused all flies; or by the excitment of identifying insects; or by the apple-bloosom in a nearby orchard; and no one would call that day a blank on which he has seen a king-fisher." -- Arthur Ransome Rod and Line, 1929
