How to make Spawn Sacks for Steelhead & Salmon

December 30, 2017 By JD 2 Comments

If you’ve ever dealt with loose, soft roe that just won’t stay on the hook, this video is for you!

Making spawn sacks is a quick and easy solution for soupy eggs. Spawn sacks (aka “egg bags”) are also extremely useful when you are fishing in an area that’s loaded with bait stealers like chubs, smolt, trout and squawfish, etc.

    Besides river curing the eggs, what if anything should you do to make the eggs last longer? Can eggs that were frozen be used?

      Tom, you can freeze eggs and then cure them later. Just be sure to wrap them in Plastic wrap and then freeze. When they are hard, vacuum seal them.
