Lead Eye Egg

The Lead Eye Egg is an innovative and effective variation of the traditional egg pattern, designed to target trout, salmon, and steelhead during the egg drop period. The fly incorporates lead eyes to help it sink quickly and stay in the strike zone, making it perfect for deeper runs and fast currents where fish are feeding on eggs drifting downstream. The Lead Eye Egg mimics the appearance of a loose fish egg, with its vibrant color and natural movement, while the weighted eyes ensure a faster descent without losing the realistic presentation.

Let the Lead Eyes Work for You: The Lead Eye Egg excels in deep, fast-moving water due to the weighted eyes, which help it sink quickly. Cast the fly upstream and let it sink to the bottom before retrieving. Focus on areas where eggs tend to accumulate, like eddies, drop-offs, or behind rocks.
