Just got through trying a search for prawns, prawns for steelhead, prawns for bait,etc. I know I've read threads on this board for this subject matter but, search kept coming back with no results found. Anyone have helpful suggestions?

Sid,

Here are a few...

BTW, these were found by clicking on the "search" button above, entering just the word "prawns", and searching the Northwest Fishing Board. There are others there, too!

Also, try the "fishing resources" button above...it's where Bob archives his fishing tips.

Good luck.

Fish on...

Todd.

Todd, Thank you very much for your help! You the man. Sid

Here is a cure I have been wanting to try but have not found the time yet.

em a little darker.

prawn oil

324 steelhead the last 2 years can't be
wrong. 5 steelies over 20 pounds this
year at McNary! 4 Hatchery, 1 Native


The ethyl alcohol is tough to get. I work in a lab. 70% Isopropyl alcohol will work.

Man! That is some recipe. It really works that well? What is the main advantage? Color, scent or durability? By the way...what is the alcohol supposed to do?

Sincerely,
Roger

Wish I could answer your questions but I have never tried the cure. It is high on my to do list though

Maybe some of them shrimp cure experts out there can explain why the alcohol is used.
