NoUseForAName_GW 18 Report post Posted May 2, 2013 I hope that's salmon roe??? Is it? I was understanding that you couldn't sell rainbow roe or buy it and use it here.... That's why DnR and other bait shops sell salmon roe?What gives?RogerA few sites are selling farmed rainbow trout roe. I've seen chinook, coho, rainbow and brown trout roe for sale on canadian sites.

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 With all the reading I have been doing on fish hatcheries and fish farms and the diseases they are coming out with I would think using outside roe would be risky in our waters. There are "licenced" farms and hatcheries out in BC that are proven to be hosts of some really really bad fish diseases. Even the salmon roe I wouldn't use.I for one would be leary.Roger Quote R.T.R.

unbedable 16 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 When I ordered the Salmon Roe is came certified VHS free. I can't remember (nor do I know if its applicable) to the trout roe, but I would think that being farmed, disease rate would be lowered as it is a controlled population?

Mykiss 28 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 I cannot believe that you guys preserve your eggs. Water harden (rinse in ice cold water until water is clear....dry on paper towel) is the only way to go........maybe that is why I never catch any steelhead !!

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted May 4, 2013 Yes I watched that video posted by Snowball.It made me rethink my thoughts on "science" the "facts" the "results"It is when these can be bought and sold. That is why I really think about certain things and if I think it's wrong, no matter what "science" says then I try not to do it.That's just me though. Even though something says "whatever" free......... well, that label can be bought.RogerP.S. Just fish swimming past these farms, pretty much breathing the same air!!!!! infects them. If you think that is not possible, then what about the "air" that affects us with airborn diseases. I can see it. Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishman1 164 Report post Posted May 8, 2013 I got my eggs from beamers supplier in southern ontario. Very nice and firm. Got them in a couple days and paid for the 10 day shipping. Tied them and got 160 nice size sacs. Pretty happy. But now the rivers have blown out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
