I’ve had a similar experience as you. I hate tying glo bugs so started using beads which I also don’t enjoy although it’s super effective. I’ve presently been tying sucker spawn type flies and caught a decent jack steelhead yesterday on one and I got that feel good feeling of using a hand tied fly. I’ve tied Devon’s tungsten taco and those work good too.
So I have this material and I'm considering making these with a blood dot. Gonna try to tie in the blood red with some of the other colors and see if I can get it to look like a blood dot egg
Using some of the hot color fire hole stone tung beads on some of the lighter colors of that material ( if it gets translucent enough when wet ) would make awesome weighted blood dots using the 2nd tying method.
Back after a year, been tying these a lot more! Doing great on the Russian river and the kenai for trout. Thanks again for the video

Thanks Jake, I was wondering if you downsized the pattern when simulating trout eggs in waters that don't have salmon ? Thanks

Yeah thats what I was explaining with the Gulff resin blood dot, it works but hard to see, same with the bead I would think.
Trying to figure out a good way to add a blood dot with the eggstacy.. Any ideas other than the bead??
Have you ever used the pen cap trick when tying with McFly foam? It makes tying eggs super quick and easy with almost no waste.
Yes I have! still not a fan, this stuff makes me actually want to tie egg flies haha
The Fly Fiend I hear ya! I just ordered some of this stuff, seems pretty cool thanks for the great video!
How do you fish these? cast and let sink or strip in slow?
lots of steelhead stuff in ur lists. i love it. where ya located?
Thanks! Ontario,Canada
What kind of knot do you tie on these bent eyes. I fell that a clinch knot would pull the hook back away from the hook set. Thank you.
Hey Jamie! I do indeed use a improved clinch also
Sweeet!
Пуфик класс.
How did fishing these turn out anyway?
These are my #1 confidence fly for steelhead.
Fluorescent cheese😤
Its eggstasy; pronounced like ecstacy
