Hey guys, took the summer off of tying, but back in school now and will throw these back up on-line now.
The last thread got lost in pages of questions, orders, etc, so I am going to re-post this up as a totally new thread.
So these are the roe flies:
Originally designed for fishing springs on the island in bait ban rivers, they quickly became my go to steelhead rig in any bait ban rivers I fished, and then even in bait allowed rivers. So far in my experience they have worked well on : Steelhead (winters, and unreal on summers), Chinook (adults love them, jacks don't mind them - about 50% consistent as roe for jacks), coho (although I haven't tossed them all that much), chum, rainbows, cutthroat, browns, whitefish, and bull trout.
I have received numerous replies back from people that have bought them - and pictures to prove their success. I have confirmation that they work on Thompson jacks (although at a lower percentage than roe - same as what I experienced), but that they worked just as good as roe on adults. Many of the people I have sold these to swear by them for steelhead and some have even gone to these exclusively over roe and other artificial's/baits. I can quite honestly say I generally use these over real roe as well. My success has been the same (have even picked up fish behind guys using roe/prawns in the vedder) and you don't get stick fingers during the winter and never have to replace the bait.
Some pict's of victims:
So down to business. The flies are
$2 a piece for the regular flies (meaning just eggs, fur, and regular hook). If you want weighted flies for fly fishing it will generally cost around 50 cents more (lead wrap and bead or dumbell eyes). I can also do these on 1/0 sickle hooks for those so inclined. They come in almost any colour combo you want, and I can email pic's of the normal colours I tie, or tie one up of what you want and let ya see how it looks. The can come scented and unscented as well (diff colours available in scented/unscented). They come in 3 sizes :
size 1/0 with 5 eggs for winter steelhead and chinook in coloured water,
size 1 with 3 eggs for summer runs, coho, chinook, bigger sized cutthroat and rainbows, and browns, and
size 4 with 2 eggs for low water spooky summers, rainbows, cutties and other small, egg eating fish.
To place orders, please email me at: steelheadfishing@hotmail.comIf any of you guys are interested, I also tie intruders and streamer flies for bull trout, steelhead, still water bows, cutthroat, and other pacific salmon.
Email for prices based on what you want, I generally do thread heads for $1.75 and prices go up from there depending on what you want.
Some examples:
If you would like to place any orders on these flies you can email me once again at:

Cheers, and hope you all have a good season and tight lines!
