No. It's never safe to assume anything. Especially when I'm involved!

My last big batch of UEC from Perfect Drift has too much dye in it. The eggs are coming our painfully red. I'm sure they still fish OK, but it's got me freaked out a little. It's that confidence with the egg thing.

Anyways, I tried a batch of the the latest UEC and some of my go-to cure (Stlhdr1 cure). The fish did not want the UEC eggs. They went for the old go-to (Stlhdr 1) cure.

Fall fish are like that. Some days they like cure X and some days the like cure Y. That's why I always try to take at least two batches of differently cured eggs when fall fishing.

Oh, and fish #2 was a nook, not a coho. I think I've mentioned this before.....

PS Sky-Guy - I have 3-4 jars of eggs for you. If you're ever in Seattle, you can stop by and pick them up. Or, I can attempt to mooch a spot in your boat out in the salt and just bring the eggs with me.
