How Do I Set Up A Corky And Yarn Rig

For river fishing? Drifting corky and yarn right?

Take a 3-10 foot leader depending on water height and where your fishing. Take the line that goes back through the eye and pull slack back towards your hook and put a piece of yarn through it. Tighten the line back up and then slide your corky on. As for the weight I take my main line and put a snap swivel on it so its free sliding. Then I put a bead on and then tie a barrel swivel to that. Tie your leader to the other side. Then put on weight of your choice to the snap swivel. I prefer to use slinkies now Ive gotten way less snags. I do my weight this way because it keeps the hook directly inline with the mainline. You dont need to lift the weight in order to set the hooks. It also increases the sensitivity so you can feel the bite easier. If its steel head your trying to hook you need it sensitive. They bite soft sometimes. Its that easy. Sometimes I go with 2 small corkies it really just depends on what gets a bite. I switch up colors and corky size 1 or 2 corkies etc... Add your favorite shrimp, anise, salmonegg scent. If your gonna fish at nigh make sure is a glow corky and use something to light it up. Toss it out. Hope this helps. Tight lines!

I think that the most important part of the corky and yarn rig is learning how to tie an egg loop knot. Below is a photo of a variation that I use below Wells Dam when fishing for late summer kings



Here's a diagram of how to tie a corky & yarn setup:

this is an opportunity to argue about flossing some more. My dentist recommends more of it.

I used this to learn how to tie an egg loop which I believe is the same; use yarn rather than egg and add your corkies with different lengths of leader. Now, I am a total newb when it comes to this and am probobly not completely correct, so any other info is helpful. I watched this video a dozen times and had to pause and rewind the tying part a couple dozen more, but finally figured it out. Good luck!!
