Yarnies for salmon
« on: January 26, 2015, 10:01:41 PM »
Been tying up yarnies for steelhead and it got me thinking maybe to try them out for salmon. I would try them on silvers, pinks, Kings, and chums this up coming season. As well as steelhead. Never fished them before but am enjoying making them and they are turning out very nice. How has everyone else's experience been using yarnies? And what's your favorite scents to use on them? Never used scent while fishing for salmon before and not sure where to start there with so many options. Success pictures would be great to see.

I've used large cerise/red yarn balls for kings...big ones!!  Worked pretty well. Used sardine, herring and various nectars for scent.

Good luck!

These are yarnies that I've been tying. I'm just trying to use something a bit different then the typical Corkey and yarn deal. I've been using Corkey and yarn for 15 years. And have landed thousands of salmon using that deal. 99 percent of my salmon have come that way. Want to test a bit of different stuff and am interested in these.

Looks like you're on the right track... How are you fishing them?

I just ordered some last week from a guy in AK that makes them.
Im going to use them under a float with eggs. You get a tad bit of bouyancy, color, scent retention and the yarn that helps stick in the fishes teeth just like a corkie and yarn.

Gotta be a win! We will be fishing the lower Queets or Quinault with them this weekend. Maybe have some yarnie action pics on Monday!

Those look a lot like the egg patterns that I used to tie up for myself when flyfishing coho.  I bet they work!

I haven't determined what method I want to fish with them. Not sure if I want to fish them under a standard float. Or drift fish like I would corky and yarn. Or add eggs and drift them or what. There sounds like there are so many options and it seems I will have a lot of fun trying them out.

They work great for steelhead but I haven't tried them for salmon.  For salmon, it's pretty tough to beat real bait.

How are you attaching those to the line? All the ones I tie up are part of the leader setup, basically a egg loop variation.

I'm sorry, but i wouldn't use anything called a yarnie.  I might use a ball of yarn, but a yarnie? Sound like something a yellow pole toting, upside down reeling, humpy fisherman would use!!!!
