It's that time of year again. I always like to update the Roe Fly threads every year during steelhead season, because this is where they excel. If you are tired of using bait, or don't have any, these are a good substitute! They are also the perfect option for bait ban flows!
Besides Steelhead they will also take a variety of other fish species. They work equally as well on Cutthroat, egg feeding rainbows, and browns as they do on steelhead. They will also work well on Chinook, coho and chum. Other fish I have caught besides the species listed above include Whitefish and bull trout. All around, they'll pick almost anything up that you will encounter in B.C.!
Roe Flies are a fly designed by myself as a roe imitation that incorporates lots of movement and a jig like motion. They were first designed as a roe substitute for chinook on the island, but I quickly discovered they are one of the best things I have used on steelhead, and are now my go to on all bait ban flows.
A few changes have been made since the last thread... mainly fur colour changes and price. The peachy pink is no longer available (they discontinued the fur for some reason), instead I have the following colours of fur (also have white as always):
Fleshy pink
Fluorescent Orange
Hot orange
Peach
Peachy orange
Shrimpy pink
The fly sizes as always are:
Small - size 4 hook with 2 eggs
Medium - size 1 hook with 3 eggs
Large - size 1/0 hook with 5 eggs
The three sizes
Prices Large - $2.50
Medium - $2.25
Small - $2.00
Shipping - $4.00
Also this year I have a couple more options:
UV option - add 25 cents/fly
More eggs per fly (say a "small" size with 4 eggs instead of 2) - add 10 cents/extra egg
Any orders should be sent to
steelheadfishing@hotmail.com. I check my emails daily and you will normally get a response the day you place an order. Most orders will be tied within a 3 day period, unless they are large.
Happy fishing.
Cheers!
Dan
