Field Notes

Use this egg pattern when steelhead or large trout are feeding on drifting eggs, especially in rivers and other current-driven water. It is a good choice for dead-drift presentations under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig, and the soft, realistic profile can be effective when fish are keyed in on natural egg drifts.

Pros

  • Realistic egg profile
  • Productive for steelhead and big trout
  • Works well in current

Cons

  • Not legal on some waters such as the Deschutes River
  • Soft-plastic style material may be restricted in certain fisheries
