About Eggs

Egg patterns are fly imitations that mimic various types of eggs found in river systems throughout the year. Trout eggs, salmon eggs, and whitefish eggs are high-calorie forage items that trout love to eat.

You can fish egg flies any time of the year, not just when eggs are present in the water from spawning.

When spawning is taking place, look for trout hanging below spawning fish away from redds, a.k.a. breeding fish beds. If these fish are moving to the left or right aggressively, it is a sign that they are feeding on eggs. An important note is to try not to fish over spawning fish, but rather the ones far downstream feeding on eggs.

Fish egg patterns under an indicator as a single fly or as the point fly in a two-fly nymph rig.

When the egg bite is really on, a standard nymph rig might consist of two or three eggs below some weight. In this situation the brighter, and larger, egg is typically tied on first with a smaller fly trailing behind.One of the best trailing flies is a single egg in orange, pink, or cream color.It’s so light that even with weight above the point fly the single egg plays in the current in an almost weightless manner. This is important because, despite their high protein density,fish eggs weigh virtually nothing and move throughout the water freely.

When To Fly Fish Eggs?

While eggs are great fishing year-round, you'll notice a big difference during the spawning seasons. When looking at the breeding seasons below, you won't be fishing these exact species. In fact, you will be fly fishing the other fish that gather below the breeding grounds to feed on loose eggs that drift downstream. Just commit these seasons to memory as a guideline when eggs will be hot and abundant.

  • Carp spawn from April to June in the shallow waters.
  • Brook trout spawn from September into October.
  • Brown trout spawn from October through December.
  • Rainbow trout spawn from February through May.

Please keep in mind not to cast near, wade near, or fish spawning trout. These breeding fish are producing the next generation of trophy trout and don't need the added stress or exhaustion of human interference.
