Loosies already or scrape? I haven't even seen anything dropping over here at all yet. I might be up on your river here within the next couple weeks.....

[Fishslayer5789]

No they wernt loose, i scraped them. I really like the way they turned out there isnt much skin in there at all. I havnt caught any loose ones yet. Jon let me know when you are comin up maybe ill come down there and bs a little. Ill wait for steel/browns(if there is any) down there now. Im gonna go after some kings this weekend weather permitting and ill try to post up some pics.

uh oh the competition is alive .... already landed a pretty silver king up there with a fly on my pin !!! I got some bait porn for you I have to post it later. was mating on a charter out of frankfort and got about 15lbs of skein over the seaon :) coho, chinook, and steelhead :)

[Burksee]

FA, can you PM me a report? I'm heading up to our camp by Grand Lake tonight for the weekend and wouldnt mind wetting a line if there's any fish around the area. ;)

fish embryos at their finest.....i am trying red dye this year on a batch of skein....we will see

[brookies101]

Those are purty....... Half of my batch is curing right now as i type, and the other half is sitting out to dry in the fridge (didnt cure that half). Hopefully they'll turn out nicely also. I finally have a couple ziploc containers full, so i think i'm gonna start splitting some walleye wig for the next few weeks until the ole' crusties are done doing the DEED. Bring on the brown and chrome :D

[samsteel]

have you guys had success with scraped loose eggs? I got a nice hen this year and scraped the eggs best I could. The eggs are in great shape, there is a little membrane skin here and there, but for the most part loose. If you tie a little bit of that skin in bags will it make a difference? I think that membrane skin turns white fast in cold water, not sure if it matters. anyhow, I can't figure out how to post a pic for the life of me, but I did load it into my profile, think these will work in bags this winter?

I know, right? It's hard to get your hands on some skein when you're living in NC...hopefully my friend will surprise me this weekend when he comes back down from the Soo. :D

Here ya' go Samsteel. Don't see anything wrong with those eggs. I call up a second version of the forum, so I have 2 copies on the screen. Then I just copy and paste from the 2nd copy into my reply.

Are you just letting them dry out, or how do you store them to use later. Yep, I don't know a thing about keeping and using eggs, I am reading when I can and have read that Brown trout eggs are the best. rw

[samsteel]

i don't really like to use scraped eggs, but sometimes you have too if you haven't gotten your hands on any loose eggs.....and while they are a pain to get out of the skein and a little messier to tie, fish love them. a lot of the time, scraped eggs out fish loose eggs. i let scraped eggs dry out a little, but I like to leave my loose eggs a little wet, so that they roll around each other when tying them up in bags.

[samsteel]

also, as far as storing, I just freeze them and use a foodsaver to vacuum seal them to prevent freezer burn. a lot of guys use mineral oil. But I just flash freeze them, then vacuum seal them. yes brown trout eggs are gold!
