Hi Don,

You bring the yarn eggs, and I'll bring the venison. Sounds like the makings of a good day on the river to me.

I could tell ya but then I'd have to kill ya.

I've let you peak into my flybox before. This time of year, think blue. Eggs, eggs, eggs.....

For the spring I've done really well on latex wigglers and almost any one of a handful of black stone patterns. Half the time I think they take the latex wiggler thinking its a cased caddis larva.

My personal favorite is a very large black stonefly!

and green caddises

Ditto TODDFATHER. Big ugly black stoneflies have always gotten it done for me in the spring. Dark collored ESL's work pretty well for me at that time too. In the fall, while salmon fishing I've had Steelies hit mostly egg flies, but I haven't spent alot of time targetting them in the fall/winter. Good luck.

2) orange and white glow egg, these work very well late in the spring and fall
3) red egg sucking bugger with a small black body

 

[Burksee]

.......... only because thats all I know how to tie right now!

1) Spring's Wiggler, in lots of color combinations.
2) Glow & Nuke eggs.
3) Egg Sucking Leach.

 

[scoot]

Dark wiggly nymph (spring's wiggler) or black stone.

 

[BigEyeHunter]

Lets not forget Estas eggs. 8-12
second is sparrows, with stones not far behind.

 

[wickedcarpenter]

Hands down in the spring time it would be a Stonefly.
That's what got me into tying flys,No one sold them unless i went to cabelas to get them or pay up to $2 bucks a piece at the bait shop.i went through 7 last spring in under a hr,having them break my 6lb test on the Huron.
By Spring i'll have a fly box full of stoneflys and some.

 

[SALMONATOR]
