Cluster Egg

A Cluster Egg in fly fishing is a type of egg fly pattern that imitates a cluster or grouping of fish eggs. This pattern is designed to replicate the natural presentation of eggs when fish are actively spawning. It is particularly effective for species like trout, salmon, and steelhead during times when they are feeding on eggs. Anglers typically use Cluster Eggs in rivers and streams during spawning seasons, presenting them in areas where fish are actively feeding on eggs. These patterns can be effective in enticing strikes from fish seeking to capitalize on a concentrated source of food.

When fishing the Cluster Egg, consider using a dead drift presentation, allowing the fly to naturally drift through the water column. Be sure to vary the depth at which you're fishing the fly by adjusting the weight or position of your strike indicator.
