Anyone care to share a recipe for curing eggs.  Do you prefer Springs, Coho or Chum?

Depends what species you wanna target 

Whites will eat anything but i find procure easy and successful

[Keener]

Thanks for the help... maybe I'll stay away from the gas stations and head down to the tackle shop. I've never fished with roe before and want to try it this year. I'm sure the boys and girls at the shop will help me out with that.

A related question:

Do most people use just plain roe or do them up in the mesh bags?

[J.G.]

"match the hatch"

Scott Haugen's book on curing roe is the bible. If you are serious about curing roe, go buy a copy.

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between a male and a female in the different salmon species?  If you want to collect the roe, and you can only keep one chum, can you tell if it has eggs?

Sexual dimorphism in pacific salmon once they enter their natal streams is easy to identify. Beside the head length and jaw extension that has already been mentioned, males also have a tendency to develop a hooked jaw and teeth. Hooked jaws are common in male coho salmon. Male chum salmon also have a slight hooked nose and large teeth. Male salmon also have a thicker back, which is very apparently in male pink salmon.
