Just curious, I have never used or tied an egg pattern. I did however tie some Crystal Meth patterns today. I read up a bit, apparently theyre a good spring pattern and Trout will eat them. Any feedback on whether they're a good Trout pattern on the Bow.

In salmon rivers, it almost feels like you are cheating fishing eggs. On the Bow River, I have caught whitefish on egg fly patterns. Quite honestly, though, if I fish an egg, I use a trout beads and a toothpick with a dark hook dangling about 3-5 cm below the stoppered egg. It is more effective than any fly I have used. The separation between bead and hook means the hook set generally misses the small mouths of a whitefish, but trout hookups are unaffected and (so far) seems to avoid the risk of trout swallowing the hook. Great looking flies btw.
