What Color Yarn Should I Use For Steelhead Corky/Yarn Fishing?

[nickbell]

Also, could somebody clearly tell me how to set up a corky and yarn rig. Thanks for the help!

it doesn't matter what color you use for steelhead.

really.

most people will say pink. but i have caught most of mine on red and black yarn combo from the knitting store

I normally run 2' to 4' foot leader with a red corkie and orange yarn or no corky and red yarn. normally 8 to 10 lb test flourcoarbon leader. from the main line run a small three way swivle and the dropper line use about 12 pound test and hollow pencil lead and crimp it tight at both ends and cast into fishy water or water that looks fishy...


great luck to you you can also add shrimp or egg scent..

any color will work most productive 4 me is pink and white

I have found that most any color will work as long as it's bright and in the red zone of the color wheel...ie...pinks, reds, purples, oranges, etc with a second contrasting or sometimes a similar color will work best. At times a purple/blue or black work well when the water is colored. I find that smaller size lures work best in clear water and larger lures for stained or colored water. Size does matter! Pro cure products work well also. Along with their black rubber gloves to stop the scent of your hands. If you have fresh eggs , use them instead of jigs! They work no matter what color they are. Hook size is up to you, but I like #2 and up to a 1/0 at times....your choice. Good luck to you, Steve .....

Peach, pink, red glow corkies no yarn sometimes double corkie mix the color red/peach or pink/peach. Clear water smaller corkies 14 or 12. 12 or 10 when its gettin murky maybe a 8 but I dont own any 8s. Put shrimp smelly jelly on and light up with a camera flash. I usually fish nights for steelhead. Early mornings have been good to me between 4 and 7am.

Pink, peach, white, purple, orange, black, white, chartreuse, cerise red, etc. You get the idea...

All sorts of colors will take them in certain conditions/presentations.
