Tonights work

[Bruno]

HA !

Good work. I tied a few bead head PTNs and some glo-bugs tonight. I need to start photoing them.

What materials and hooks did you use for the sucker spawn?

 

[Bruno]

Blue Angora Yarn and Glo Bug Cotton Candy on Dai Riki 155 Egg Hooks.

Just found the yarn and I like it very much.

Nice stuff

wet

I use more of a lighter blue for my round eggs. I might experiment with a few other patterns this year. However I haven't tied a fly in about 3 months, so I might have to rely on last years leftovers. Which, thankfully I have a good amount of.

Do you like the bead heads on your SS? I've never weighted my egg patterns, just like to add shot.

 

[flipnfly]

i hardly weight anything i tie except for wooly buggers ......maybe thats my problem

 

[ryguyfi]

The problem is that your eggs are too small Flip! lol :-D

 

[David]

I don't think eggs can be too small when the water is clear!

 

[ryguyfi]

I tie some pretty big eggs and use them almost exclusively. I think Flip was maybe laughing a bit at how big they were at last years Steelhead JAM, and then I was slaying the fish with them lol. They are probably the size of a typical marble, tied on sz 10 scud hook. I think I do better with nymphs when the water is clear than with small eggs.

 

[tomgamber]

How much is that in beer measure?

 

[albatross]

Are you going to share any of those sweet blue spawn ties?

I got my shipment of purchased flies for the Salmon River in yesterday. New toys!
