I just slap mine willy nilly into a glass jar with some extra scent. Bang ! fish on  ;)



I do like drying mine a decent amount before bagging it for the fridge or freezer, I like dry to the touch roe because I hate sticky/gooey hands, pink fingers and disgusting looking gear. Sorry I mean its tacky to the touch but feels dry after being in the Borax


I could probably be due to learn how to make excellent roe but seriously I might use it a few times a season so I could care less because it works when I use it.




HOOK - would rather toss a fly anyhow !!!  ;D

Hook - you know I'm with you about tossing flies.  But having the "secret sauce" roe at the peak of the coho run is gold!  As for the mess and pink/red hands - I wash off every time I bait-up, and sometimes wear disposable nitrile gloves.  Yeah, I hate the mess too.  But if it means I'm hooking up every cast, then I'll live with it for a while... ;)

Wow, Spoonman, some nicely coloured and dry looking roe & single eggs in your photo. You should change your name to Roeman,  ;)  I don't see any juice on the paper towel. How do you get the eggs so dry? Do you want to share your 5-ingredient recipe?
