Description

The Steelhead Orange Egg Fly is a great roe pattern for waters that have spawning fish. This is perhaps the top producing egg color and is very effective when the fish are dropping lots of eggs. Almost every freshwater fish will eat this pattern including Steelhead and Salmon. Whether you are fishing in famous Steelhead run, your local river or even the gravel point on the nearby lake, the fish have learned that these glowing orbs are an tasty meal. Fish that are not spawning will hold in areas near the spawning fish and sometimes even travel with migrating fish for the opportunity to eat their misplaced eggs.

Field Notes

Use this egg fly when trout, steelhead, or salmon are feeding on drifting roe near spawning areas. It is especially effective in rivers and runs where fish are keyed in on egg presentations, and it can be fished dead-drift under an indicator or with a nymphing setup.

Pros

  • Highly effective roe imitation
  • Good for spawning-season fish
  • Simple, compact fly

Cons

  • Less effective when fish are not keyed on eggs
  • Can be overlooked in very clear, pressured water
