Trout Egg Fly Pattern
The Trout Egg Fly Pattern is a proven producer during spawning seasons and cold-water periods when trout instinctively key in on drifting eggs. Designed to imitate natural fish eggs with lifelike color and subtle translucence, this fly triggers aggressive feeding responses from trout holding near the bottom.
Fish it deep in mid-pool sections on freestone streams and tailwaters where eggs will naturally settle. A slow, gentle rod-lift presentation helps the fly tumble and roll naturally along the streambed—just like a real egg. Whether you're targeting rainbows, browns, cutthroat, Dolly Varden, grayling or brook trout, this simple yet deadly pattern consistently converts tough days into successful ones.
