Description
Gold Head Eggflies in Orange. This is a specific type of attractor pattern designed to imitate fish roe or eggs. The round, orange body and the gold bead head mimic the appearance of a salmon or trout egg, a high-protein food source for many fish, especially during and after spawning season.
Type of Fly: Attractor (specifically, a bead-head egg imitation).
Target Fish: This fly is extremely effective for trout (especially rainbow and brown trout), as well as steelhead and salmon, which are opportunistic feeders and will often consume the eggs of other fish.
When to Fish: The Eggfly is most effective during the spawning seasons of trout and salmon, which typically occur in the autumn and winter. It can also be productive in the late winter and early spring. It is best fished during the day when fish are active.
Saltwater or Freshwater: This is a freshwater fly.
Best Fishing Locations: The Eggfly is best fished in rivers and streams in areas where trout and salmon are spawning, such as gravel beds or "redds." It is also very effective in high-pressure or "put-and-take" fisheries where fish are accustomed to bright, artificial flies.
