dizzidevil Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey guys, just wondering how big should I make my roe sacks? I have some trout eggs and wondering how many eggs I should put in them? I'm float fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Totally depends on water conditions. Clear=dime sized Dirty=nickle to quarter sized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Totally depends on water conditions.Clear=dime sized Dirty=nickle to quarter sized That sums it up perfectly. Roll some up even smaller than a dime if the water conditions are low and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have used quarter/looney sized bags since December, lol... Clear, dirty, didn't really matter. The stink trail they put out is great. If you are fishing dropbacks, you want as big of a scent trail as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin elia Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 DD, In dirty water(12 inches or less), I tie nickel/quarter size bags in bright mesh In water that has 12 inches to 3 feet of vis, I tie nickel/dime size bags in all colours In clear water more than 3 feet of vis, I tie dime size or very small bags in light coloured mesh, maybe about 5-7 trout eggs. Keep in mind, that when fishing for pressured steelies, to not only have roe but to bring flies, jigs, soft plastics etc. Good luck J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Back 25 years ago when I trout fish 16hrs x 365 (had to work 8hrs) some days, roe bags to match what I was going to fish today and tomorrow was all I though about. Now that I'm not that intense I tie 3-5 dsize 3-5 nicsize 3-5 qsize and maybe 2 golf ball with Blackbird floaters just in case I pier fish in the next week or 2. So I'm sort of ready for just about anything and some were in that mess I call a trout vest is a small kit Spider Thread bag tie maybe 15 squares Blackbird spawn net and a very little bag of spawn floaters (looks just like some that e lee gale product) really just colored Styrofoam from my younger days "maybe I should check" The point is just be ready for 70-80% and make it work if you need something else worms flyes micro crank. Or just obsessive! not me Garnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelfuN Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 logically, the guys posts above are all correct.. but I've had 2-3lb fish taking quarter size bags on gin clear water.. the best was hooking a 12lb steel in chocolate milk with dime size bag (3-4 salmon roe). i think i was just lucky?!haha just have all varieties ready for the day. different size bags, different colour bags...you just don't know what they will hit that day!
