There are a few holes on the bug side that I’d normally fill with small, simple black stones for the Ontario tribs. The egg side is a little too large and loud, especially for the current low water.Time to fill some corks! Clockwise from lower left: sz 14 Electric Caddis and Yerger Miracle nymphs; Winger’s Mallard Minnow and Jeff Blood’s White Death, sz 10; egg/apricot supreme Blood Dots sz 14; various implements of Squirmy Wormy destruction; Kopczyk’s Super Fruit, and Murray’s Go-To and Mini-Bug, all sz 14. I got most of these patterns from John Nagy’s Steelhead Guide, the definitive work on Erie tribs steelhead. Let’s see where they fit in…Ready to go! I replaced the top egg row, which was mostly Estaz eggs, with more muted fare. The Blood Dots are a proven favorite. I love that you can fish a tandem rig in OH and PA, and I’m looking forward to giving the steelhead a choice. Steak? Or eggs? Both?…
I wish I could scale down to one box like that. I’d feel naked. Looks like the Red Heads and Copper Heads have earned more slots than some others. Have you or anyone else tried the White Death pattern on Salmon River N.Y. where there are no emerald shiners.
The vast majority will never see Erie trib water. I’m sure the White Death would work in any number of creeks, rivers, and situations. It works under an indicator. Try it and see!
I am heading to Illinois in am on a hunting trip… When I get back I will see what I can get… I work at the Biltmore Estate, there is a winery here lots of extra corks
Hi Jack, I have a slotted foam pocket in my fly box and a Magnetique fly patch on my pack for that duty. I’ve seen other people use a small box Velcroed to their vest/pack which I also like. Thanks for the comment and suggestions. 🙂

White orange butt zonker…plenty of video to support this
I’ll look into it! The plain White Death works as well.

Rick, I think we’ve had a miscommunication. I am all set and have plenty of corks. I appreciate your offer.
Nice refills and well stocked. I’d keep those Estaz eggs and nuclear eggs tucked in a pocket a small handy container😉
