Hey guys... pictures in the other thread died, so I'm just starting a new one up (Rod feel free to delete the old threads).
Roe Flies are a fly designed by myself as a roe imitation that incorporates lots of movement and a jig like motion. At times the fish can't stay off these, and I have already this year (2012) had a hand full of days on the flow where they out-fished bait and anything else that we threw at the steelhead that were kicking around. Besides hitting both winter and summer run steelhead very well, they also hit a variety of other fish including: Whitefish, Bull Trout, Cutthroat, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Coho, Chum and Chinook. These are PERFECT for bait ban flows!

I can do up almost any colour combo you want, feel free to ask. If I don't have the fur colour, chances are I can go buy it.
I tie the flies up in 3 sizes, in either scented or unscented - make sure you specify what you need for where you are fishing:
- 1/0 hook with 5 eggs (Large)
- 1 or 2 hook with 3 eggs (Medium)
- 4 hook with 2 eggs (Small)
As said, I can do almost any colour combo you want for the flies... feel free to ask. These are a couple of the combo's I have done already:
The original 4 - all 1/0 size (large) - half scented and half unscented (one of each in white fur and one of each with peachy pink fur):
(http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/28059_10151138613631612_1302537792_n.jpg)
Unscented 10 pack - 5 size 1 (medium), 5 size 1/0 (large):
(http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382935_10151138613746612_2119569904_n.jpg)
And a 20 pack - all size 1/0 (large) - 12 Unscented, 10 Scented:
(http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/382789_10151138613576612_498929966_n.jpg)
Other pictures of colour combo's can be seen here:

And of course we need some pictures showing they work:

Hey guys, have gotten a few PM's.
If you want to place orders, make sure you send them to steelheadfishing@hotmail.com if you want to make sure I get them right away.
At this point if you shoot me an email with what you want exactly, chances are I can have it tied in a day (unless it's huge).
Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Years!
Cheers,
Dan

are those eggs soft or hard? I am interested where you located?
-
Soft eggs... fish will come back if you miss them on these so they must feel natural enough...
I'm in Chilliwack up until the 6th of January, then back in Nanaimo after that.
Cheers,
Dan

Thanks again and nice looking roe flies :)

Hey Dan
I ordered some of these off you last year. Although I was unable to connect while using they sure look tasty. (Not taking anything away from these. Largely inexperience to blame)
Approximately when could I expect to receive these? Heading to stamp second weekend of January and would love to have these in arsenal
Thanks in advance.

Have you shot an email to me yet for an order?
If you place an order it will most likely be done by the weekend (can also pick up from me on the way through Nanaimo if you want).
Cheers,
Dan

I am back February ~23 to March 2nd for spring break.
I am also able to ship flies as needed.
Glad you like the flies!

would love the recipe

would love the recipe
As would lots of people ;)
Seems a lot of people have figured it out and are tying them now though... and selling them.
No biggy though, all of the others I have seen selling have problems with their eggs falling off, which I have't had happen yet even with the spey casting!
That and... the material cost of the flies almost isn't worth selling, so I'm assuming others will taper off any ways ;D

No matter got it figured out. picked up a beauty 16lb hatch buck today with it. Easy to tie. Thanks for the idea.

Hey guys.
First of all... the peachy pink fur you see in the combo pics is no longer available. It seems to have completely disappeared from every shop that use to carry it. Not sure if it is just the manufacturer messing up on the colours and having a bad batch, or if it is gone for good. I have something very close called fleshy pink (just kind of a lighter peach colour). I also have a peachy orange and a shrimpy pink sub as well. Will post pics of these in the next couple days.
Lastly, if you want to cut out on shipping, I will be on the mainland this upcoming week (Feb 23 until around March 4th at this piont). I am thinking I'll bring my tying materials back so if you shoot me an order by the 27th I can get it done for you!
Cheers, and thanks for the steady orders!

Hey, sorry about that!
Did I reply to it yet? If not shoot me a PM on here or try again (and I'll really watch for it this time).
For some reason a lot of them have been getting sent to my junk.
I try my best to filter them out, but I miss a few! Please make sure to label it "Roe Fly Order."
Hopefully I got to you, if not I'm very sorry!
Cheers,
Dan
PS Beauties big fisher! Thanks!

You can order as many as you like, order size doesn't matter at all.
I simply charge the $3 flat rate for shipping period.

Some confusion as of late here.
I am no longer on the mainland, and most likely will not be back until mid/late April.
I am located in Nanaimo, and am more than willing to mail out!
Cheers,
Dan

I like the flys! I tie my own flies for salmon + steelhead but have no idea how to tie these ones. Please email me at kcp@alumni.sfu.ca
I would like to buy some. I live in Chilliwack.

Nevermind. Just saw your email address earlier in the thread. I'll email you.
