This fly performs well in both nymph and swing presentations. The size #6 fits perfectly on the streamer and is easy to tie. I’ve used it in clear water streams and it catches fish consistently.
Gavin Terry –
A solid addition to my fly box. It mimics the natural egg fly behavior well. Works best in slow-moving water where fish are active. A bit delicate, so handle with care.

I’ve tried several egg flies, and this one stands out. The beadhead design makes it easy to see in the water. It’s a reliable pattern for both dry fly and nymph fishing.
