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?

A few sites are selling farmed rainbow trout roe. I've seen chinook, coho, rainbow and brown trout roe for sale on canadian sites.

Maybe because it is farmed roger?

Licenced hatcheries can sell it

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.

From the people I've spoken with there is far more risk of passing on disease using live bait such as minnows leeches and worms than there is using treated roe from a hatchery facility.

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?

put borax in water in a bowl or container put eggs in leave over night rinse and dry tie them up and go fishing

Watch this video and decide for yourself on how safe and clean they may be......it does not inspire much confidence in my eyes.

thanks for that video...

[Mykiss 28]

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 !!

thanks for that video...

Credit goes to Snowball for posting that video in the "everything else" forum 3-4 weeks ago

[Some Old Guy 968]

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.

P.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.

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!
