_Ra_ Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hello, First of a brief introduction: I recently got into fishing with a few buddies, this is my first season. I've been targeting panfish and Bass so far. I don't know any veteran fishermen so I've been using these forums to learn for the most part before going out and trying stuff out. I've learned a little bit - enough to hook into a few fish and get myself hooked to the sport. I've been reading up on steelhead recently and I thought I'd give it a try. My plan is to use worm and roe for bait. Can anyone guide me to a baitshop that would sell these in Mississauga? Specifically I'd like to get pretied roe bags as I have no previous experience. http://centerpinangling.com/spawn-products.html I found I can order them online but the shipping seems quite steep. Also I'd like to go out this Friday and I don't think I'd get them in time. Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eazy Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Most local baitshops will sell pre-tied roe, but it's pretty pricey stuff as far as my experience goes. Rolling your own isn't very difficult either, just ask one of your steel-head buddies for a quick run down on how to cure and tie it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 No need to cure it, just tie it up and you're golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercman Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Welcome to OFC Theres a ton of world class Steelheaders in here.I'm surprised you only got a few suggestions. Must be a game on somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocheleauc Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 No need to cure it, just tie it up and you're golden. x2, just cut up the skein in small pieces, tie it up, and freeze what ever you're not going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooner_jr Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Skippy has caught a steelhead/salmon/brown yet, he wants to know where to buy pre-tied eggs so he can try and catch one, not whether he should cure the eggs or not.

Twocoda Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 welcome to the board...there is a tackle shop in Port Credit that sells pre tied roe cant remember the name of it though Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Bronte Outdoor (2560 Shepard Ave) or Angling Specialties (325 Central Pky W - behind Dairy Queen) both sell roe bags and they'll both probably give you some advice too Edited November 24, 2011 by cuzza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chase4chrome Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Good to see someone taking up the angling art--welcome. Kaveat (and this is, and always will be, my concern): when you source your eggs please ask how and where they were obtained. I think we have an obligation here to help new anglers develop an ethical practice with particular focus on ecological sustainability. Any use of eggs I take to be questionable (just my bias). I think Kemper can source "ethical" spawn (if I'm not stepping on any toes here). Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ra_ Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks for all the help guys. Bronte Outdoor (2560 Shepard Ave) or Angling Specialties (325 Central Pky W - behind Dairy Queen) both sell roe bags and they'll both probably give you some advice too I'll try Angling Specialties for bait. As to the source, I assumed all bait shops get their roe from fish farms. I'll report back if I have any luck with catching anything... don't hold your breath though!

I think Kemper can source "ethical" spawn (if I'm not stepping on any toes here). Best Good point. How would someone with no experience know what impact "how and where they were obtained" would have on his purchase of store bought roe? What criteria would you offer to someone new, such as the OP, to help determine what ARE ethical practices with particular focus on ecological sutainability?

I know guys that cure roe and they catch as many fish as the guys using uncured stuff. I think the most important thing is to store it properly... Cured or uncured...

aniceguy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 All retailers of egg products in the province have to have proof of purchase for the product in thier store from a vendor, usually a fish farm locally or south of the border, it also must be cured in some respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
