Description

Egg patterns are a great go-to when searching out new waters, fishing murky, fast, or seemingly tough water conditions. This egg pattern has a multi-color scheme that looks fishy when wet. This created a bit of differentiation and intrigue compared to many of the other standard egg patterns out there. Get this egg behind a weighted point fly, or sink it with some split shot and get it down in the feeding zone and you won't be disappointed. Hook Size 14

Field Notes

This is an egg pattern meant for trout and other salmonid fishing, especially when fish are keyed on drifting eggs. It is recommended for murky, fast, or otherwise tough water, and can be fished behind a weighted point fly or with split shot to get it into the feeding zone.

Pros

  • Effective search pattern in tough water
  • Bright multi-color profile adds visibility and attraction
  • Small size is easy to fish under an indicator or as a dropper

Cons

  • Can be too bright in very clear water
  • Best use is seasonal or situational rather than all-purpose
