Fishing with roe for springs
« on: August 16, 2012, 08:57:55 PM »
I was fishing the tidal fraser with pink colored roe and a guy told me that springs don't bite colored roe. He said that springs only bite natural boraxed roe? Only coho bite the colored roe.

Is this true?

tidal srings will bite at most roe you throw at them, coloured borax salted all work just fine

I have always found springs to bite on pro cured roe the most of any salmon.
In fact I have always done better for springs on double red hot stuff roe when compared to natural.

I think this guy has it backwards  ::) Springs are chemical/scent junkies.

Thanks guys. Yeah I thought that may not sound right. He was a pretty old guy that says he's been fishing the Fraser a long time, so I was thinking there may be truth to his wisdom. But each to his own, I guess....  :-\
