Clown Egg

The Clown Egg fly pattern is a unique and highly effective fly used primarily in fly fishing for salmon and steelhead. It is particularly popular in the Great Lakes region. Here's a brief history of the Clown Egg fly pattern: Anglers commonly use Clown Eggs as part of a nymphing rig or under an indicator, presenting the fly at the depth where fish are actively feeding. These patterns are particularly popular during spawning seasons when fish are more likely to target eggs as a food source.

It is particularly effective in the fall and spring when these fish are most active. Anglers often fish it using drift or nymphing techniques, allowing the fly to imitate a drifting egg in the current.
