beads or roe

[rich_ace_G]

I use a double rig !! A bead 12-16" above your roe with a hook 2" under the bead

i might just do this. what knot do you use when you tie your 2nd leader to the hook under the bead?

I use an improvised snell knot on the top hook and leave a 16-20" tag and tie my second hook on the end of the tag

When you guys use 2 hooks, do you ever get double headers?

when using minnows I've had double headers with perch

i think he meant with steelhead. chance of you catching one out of 20 sitting front of you is rare enough, but never say never, i have had two 6 inch trout on two hooks if that counts for anything?! one fly one roe.

another way to do a double rig is tying your roe hook onto your lead leaving a long tag end... you can now put your bead on the tag end with a hook 2 inches under that... I like this rig because it allows your bead to bounce the bottom while your roe is a foot or so above..

When I am fly fishing a use my above post with a larger nymph pattern followed by either a smaller nymph or egg fly. Sometimes a "swinging fly" on the bottom to present a dead drift up and across well accomplishing a swing through the "gut". Sometimes on the swing the nymph hooks up, making it pretty deadly

so you use the larger nymph as a idicator as well right ? i tried this once but got hung up and lost 2 flies :evil: so i never did that again lol

No, you fish it how you would a regular dead drift, 9 foot leader (ish) down to your first fly with your droper another 12-20 inches below that fly. I fish mine with an indicator mostly set to 1.5x the depth of the water, fish it like a one fly system.

I don't typically do a bead and a sac, I like a stone fly and a yarnie in tandem

Love that set up.

low clear water... nothing beats fresh skein. small white bags. you will be the only guy on the river catching fish.
that is Huron and Georgian bay. U don't need a whole lot of skill to catch fish out of Ontario.... store bought row and 20 pound braid will be fine

That seems like a long dist from the hook. So what happens when a fish bites on the bead? Float goes down, yank bead from fish's mouth?/

He said as an attractor, so there would be a second bait, it would work the same as a flasher does when trolling salmon.
