Yarn Egg

A Yarn Egg in fly fishing is a type of egg fly pattern that uses yarn as the primary material to imitate fish eggs. These patterns are effective for targeting species like trout, salmon, and steelhead, especially during times when fish are actively feeding on eggs. Anglers commonly use Yarn 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.

Use a strike indicator to help control the depth and ensure the fly stays near the bottom, where fish are most likely to find eggs.
