Experiments

Post by **BBRich** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 9:57 pm

Well I've tied up some experimental egg imitations to try out tomorrow morning before work. Gonna try floating them with a little bit of scent.

Anybody else have experimental baits or lures that have paid off for them (or not) this year?

just wondering if you had any luck with those experimental baits??

i was down at the wilmot this sunday....thought it might be a good chance to catch some bows but i got skunked....im fairly new to the trout fishing and havent' had much luck....i tried roe bags, worms, spinners, flys, an x-rap, and the kitchen sink....but no luck....

I'll have to report tomorrow because I slept in today

And yeah Joco I got the idea while I was tying up some hair rigs for next spring.. at first I thought "hmmm that would be good with salmon eggs" but I couldnt figure out a way to put real eggs on without popping them. Scented imitation should work just as well in the runs though.

Rich I have found that when fishing high traffic tribs for trout that often times smaller baits in general produce better! Ive tied up stuff very simular to what you did (2&3 egg combos) and found that single egg imitations worked better. Then again the tribs that I fish get a lot of pressure... but I bet if you soaked those in corn meal overnight they would work great on carp!
