Scrambled eggs!

This fly is called scrambled eggs. It's the easiest fly to tie, and fish go crazy for it! It imitates a chunk of trout/salmon eggs and also sucker spawn. It's an absolute must have for Lake Erie's Steelhead that move into the tributaries! Perfect for a dropper rig. This fly is perfect for beginners.

Step 2

cut two pieces of yarn roughly 3-4 inches in chartreuse and pink. pull each half over the hook shank and tie in

Step 3

pull yarn forward and tie off

push yarn back and past your previous tie in spot, then tie in again. This process creates the slack in the yarn that forces it to bow out bringing it to life.
