That representation of jiggin' on the bug rod must have been inserted around a deadline or because of lack of decent flyfishing pracices to photograph at the last minute. If he has to shoot me he's usually scraping the bottom of the barrel for material. I'm primarily invited along to pack his tons of free fishing gear and photo equiptment around.

Usually I just hand him the Crown Royal and tell him to get the camera ready. Actually, I don't think I have made it into any of his books or articles with a fish in hand. Usually I'm shown just standing in the mud flogging away...the true testament to my catching abilities. Maybe I'm just so damn photogenic? :p

there is a fly called "Eggo" that is popular in Lewiston on the Snake that I have seen on www.westfly.com. It is an egg hook with a dumbell weight on it, and chenille figure 8'd around it. Put eyes on the dumbell, and file it away. I hear it is a great pattern for steelies when they are behind salmon eating eggs.

That's all I know, but I now have a few in my box.

Been making glue gun single egg paterns and clusters complete with the yolk looking stuff. I've never seen a more realistic looking artificial egg (how about "pre-emergent smolt pattern" :p ). Put some white marabou around the eye to trail as the membrane and these things look like the real deal under water. For a heathen jig on bug rod dunker like me its got some potential!
