Salmon eggs are one of the best baits for catching salmon and trout
during the spawning period when they head upstream into the rivers,
creeks and streams. Salmon eggs are also very effective in lakes for
trout. Many smaller lakes are stocked yearly with trout and salmon eggs
will catch a lot of trout in these lakes. In very deep water where fish are
suspended, salmon eggs will not be as effective, but in the shallower
areas where trout can easily grab a meal off of the bottom, salmon eggs
will definitely work.
There are two different forms of salmon eggs to use as bait: salmon roe
and single eggs. The salmon roe is more popular because it is easier to
use. You can get the salmon roe from bait shops or from a fish that just
entered the river. The salmon eggs will still be held together in the early
stages of spawning and you can take the entire roe, cut it into small
pieces and use as bait. You can also make spawn sacs with the salmon
roe, which is also very popular. The single eggs can be found in fish
that are getting close to releasing their eggs. Many salmon and trout
are caught and the eggs will actually fall out of the fish as the angler
picks up the fish. These loose eggs can be effective, but you will need
to cure them to be able to use them as bait. There are plenty of salmon
and trout egg cures on the market. A quick search online should pull up
a few options for you.
