Besides from colors there isn’t much that you can do with this pattern. Especially with the egg that doesn’t have any substitutions and has to be UV glue. Feel free to change the collar feather for anything you like however.
Eggs are great patterns to use as attractors in the fall and wintertime to imitate eggs that have gotten dislodged from beds, or dropped too early by hens. There is some controversy about fishing eggs, but the eggs that get eaten by trout are already dead. They’re not going to drift down and find a new redd and survive, so it is imitating a great food source and source of protein for trout, steelhead and salmon. This is a very realistic pattern that will sink quickly with the tungsten bead and resin egg, and be sure to catch the attention of fish on it’s way down the river.
If fishing this as a weighted fly, fish this as the lead fly under an indicator. If fishing this weightless, fish it as the tag fly off the lead so it gets down to the bottom. If fishing this weightless, this also allows for the use of a euro nymphing rig, as this can be the tag fly off of the point on those rigs as well.
