Salmon Roe

[goodentight]

Hey guys, just a thought before killing a king for roe...

I found out last year, that if you go to any fish cleaning station or weigh station (for the derby), there is an extremely good chance there will multiple fresh fish skiens there for the taking. When we went, there were close to a dozen (6 hens) worth of fresh, clean, loose eggs in skien. Lots of deep-lake charters / derby etc. guys will bring fish in and weigh their fish (dead) and/or salvage the fish for the meat and leave the eggs for river anglers.

Please exhaust these options before pulling out the knife.

Cheers!

there used to be one near port hope, not sure if its still there, but there would always be tons of roe, we got roe from there a couple years back and are still using the same stuff, but I've found that at piers, cotton balls in various colours work better then anything I've ever tried and in the creeks single pink artificial eggs produce great numbers for me , i only use roe in desperation

good stuff...i might "help out" some of the derby participants when weighing their fish and offer to "clean up" their spoils...
