- This video covers the most common egg fly pattern styles for fly fishing. It shows the nine most common egg pattern styles and how to tie them, in order to inspire new patterns and techniques and to provide exposure to these styles as well as to the most common/best colors, materials, and fly tying hooks. Common materials are egg yarn, McFly Foam, estaz, chenille, dubbing, hot glue, and beads. You can apply these styles to patterns such as the Glo Bug, clown egg, estaz egg, Nuke Egg, Ultra Egg, Sucker Spawn, Crystal Meth, Psycho Spawn, Otter’s Soft Milking Egg, hot glue gun egg, and with beads.

I come back to this one over and over. We fish the same spot so its perfect.
Hey Rob, glad it's been of help. I personally still want to enjoy the heat of summer, but fall and winter are coming soon. Hope life's good!
These are great. I'm going to tie some for winter trout fishing.
Corbyn Evans Glad you liked them. Good luck with your winter fishing!
Nice job.
Makes them all easy and very simple
Hey Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it!
great video, i have a lot of egg flies myself, whats the point of the white stuff around the egg? is it more appealing for the fish? thank you!
Hey WNYA, thanks for the kind words. I assume you're talking about the veiled-style egg? The veil does a few things. 1) It can tone down the color underneath, which can be important in low-water situations. 2) It can give the egg a milky look, which may be important if there are a ton of opaque eggs in the water (you can also cut it if you need brighter eggs). 3) I have had some guides tell me that they think it catches in the fish's mouth better than stuff like beads, etc. Not sure about that, but it makes some sense, and I usually fish softer patterns when I fish in certain water conditions, such as slower water, so that fish hold on to the fly longer. Hope that helps. Plenty of big fish on eggs up in your parts. Thanks again! Also, here are a couple articles from our site if you're interested.

i heat my hook in the vise and put the bead on the shank and then run wool through the hole and make sit look like a skein egg
or even tie the wool around the shank. the bead will stay on the hook very well..
Sounds like an interesting process and result. Any problems with the hook gap shrinking?
Nope , heat the shank and put on the bead with a toothpick inserted and you won`t burn you fingers. It cools down like in 20 seconds or so or yo Can drop it in a class of water for a faster set.You can use Bait hooks and set it on the barbs that are the shank for a better set.Its just melts over the shank and stay put Good
Thanks for sharing that tip, Troutaholic! All have to experiment. Good fishing to you this season.
@@toflyfish I tried the method of heating the hook and pressing a plastic bead on while it was hot. Worked great until I got into 20 pound salmon. The hooks shanks straightened out due to annealing of the carbon steel alloy material in the hook. Hook manufacturers follow an exact process to harden the hooks and messing around with heat on the shank will soften them. The heat method might work on little trout but not on anything big.
@@R_an_D Salmon can definitely test your gear. Fresh kings are brutes! Thanks for sharing, R. Lilly!
will peacock chenile work?
Hi, Jasper. Any chenille will work, as far as the shape is concerned. The color is very important with egg patterns. I have caught hundreds and hundreds (probably thousands and thousands) of fish on egg patterns, and I have never used a color that is very similar to peacock. I've seen steelhead and lake-run browns pick up some weird stuff though. I assume you're talking about peacock-colored chenille. Here is the article that goes with the video. I include my favorite colors. Good luck!

Where’s the “selecting for trout” part? Otherwise, the tying part was great!!
Hey Josh, thanks for the comment. Here are a couple articles that go into more depth. Thanks!
