Title: Wool drifting for salmon.
Post by: Floater on July 20, 2005, 08:50:10 PM: Hey guys just wanted to know what you think about this wool tie for just float fishing at the vedder for salmon. I know this is a fly fishing tie originaly but i think this would work pretty damn good for float drifting then just a chunk of wool.

I still remember the spot, a bit of a side channel between Lickman and Peach on the Vedder and on the second or third cast there he was. I believe I had him on for a short time before losing the steelhead.

I know people that fish this way SF'ing and do well, they do not like messy roe so they fish this way all the time with good results. Some mix colours into the tie and their was a famous one made by a famous Vedder angler now passed. There was an article on this in the Vancouver Sun many years ago. As I am afraid of getting the name of him and the name of the wool tie wrong I better not post it. Someone else may post it before I find it.

Post by: BigFisher on July 21, 2005, 03:20:53 PM: I heard from somewhere that the guy named Teskey fished everyday in the same spot during steelhead season, and so the locals or something named the spot after him. Dont know if its true.

Post by: Floater on July 22, 2005, 12:22:11 AM: Anyone have a clue how this tie looks? is it just a bit of all those colours on a hook or is there somethng special to it?

Post by: The Gilly on July 22, 2005, 08:45:27 AM: For Coho, use a #4 hook with a bait loop. Take Peach wool and spread it flat. Then take 1/4 thickness of red wool and roll it into the peach. Place a piece of this "Jelly Roll" in the biat loop and trim small so it looks like two eggs. Notice that the red wool looks like the neucleous of the egg. It works great in clear water. Also, use dull hooks, nothing that shines.
