Looks like Pink Lady strikes again. Nice work and thanks for the photos! I love/hate/miss that river smile

Working on a couple of milking roe ball prototypes for ChumDog.

The marabou versions have nice "action." I think they will get bit.

An egg veil is any sort of fine, white material used to imitate leftover skein on an egg pattern.





There are a variety of different ways to do it, but this is one product that is commonly used.

http://www.caddisflyshop.com/egg-veil.html

Since I was never able to find this particular product at my local fly shops, I have tried some different things. One that I have had similar success with is White Glo Bug yarn. I pull it apart until it is fine enough to lightly cover the egg pattern.

Looks like a finer version of Ice dubbing, which I like to use in my bait drift rig leaders. Nice stuff. Thanks.

No problem. Let us know if you find a good way to incorporate it in your yarn balls.

I always called that an egg hymen.

Actually, I just made that up.

Dingle berry yarn balls named the "pacifier" by sir stamly.



I cant decide if they look more like butts, balls, or boobs.

I think it depends more on your sexual perspective. To each their own...

Well I have returned to the land of snow and ice after a few weeks on the beach. More on that a bit later.

Thanks to those that sent stories and photos about yarn ball fishing success while I was out. Very cool indeed.

Seeing as how winter is far from over and I am back in need of entertainment, the yarn ball factory is once again open for business. I still have quite a few of the usual flavors on-hand and will be cranking more out daily. Custom orders welcome also.

Coley, just starting with your yarn balls so not sure how to rig. Just peg at or above the hook and drift as you would a corky? No floatation?
