Northwest Fishing Reports

I was just lookin through the pictures of everyones jigs that they tie and ive seen alot with Flash-a-bou in them. It got me thinkin about trying to drift fish with some in my yarn . Has anyone on here ever tried that? Seems like it would be pretty effective.

it would be worth a try, because someone had to have had the crazy idea of trying to feed salmon their own eggs, but with weird cures, or corkies and yarn, or even tuna wraps, if it doesnt work, oh well, if it does, then you got yourself a secret lol

This is very true! Looks like ill have to pick up some Flash-a-bou when i get paid! I have a feeling that it would do quite well with steelhead, but then again you never know. =/

I`d also say give it a try

You know what, I'll guarantee you it'll work. It's all doing the same thing just in a different way. Variations of egg patterns or baby fish, or really anything that will irritate them into biting. I have some purple yarn with strands of silver flash in it that have done pretty well for summer steelhead. At some point it doesn't hurt to try new and different things, once you've caught enough fish it's all about finding the weirdest thing you can get a fish to bite. It's like the time I decided to catch a bass on a rubber ducky top water style. Seriously, it works. Thread your line through it and tie a hook on, and you've got yourself a lure.

ive even heard of people using shiny 2-3inch fly tippets on a three way before to catch salmon, the tippet looks like a baitfish in the water and they got some nice'uns

The triangle beverage in snohomish at one time had some yarn with some added flash into it, i mainly used it on my high water plunking gear hoping for some extra vis in the water. but i never thought of trying it stand alone... flashy yarnies? i like the sound of that!

glo bugs yarn sells a glo bling yarn with flash in it already.

You know, come to think of it. I have actually seen somebody catch fish drifting with flashabou. The other day i saw a guy catch a hawg of a steelhead on the lewis river. When he was walking by i checked out his rig and it looked really weird. He had 2 corkies and the this stringy sparkly stuff for yarn, which i now know was most likely Flash-a-bou
