Fishing eggs—what’s your approach?

[G_Smolt]

I’m going to plagiarize @G_Smolt flesh/egg streamer for my next visit to the Katmai in Sept ‘25…

They work like a charm in that region. That's where the Doug E. Flesh was developed from its precursor, the Happy Meal. I actually found the bones of a production Happy Meal (Umpqua stopped production in 2019) on the river which inspired it last September!

Is that bunny leather that had the fur chewed off by those obese mykiss you like to exercise?
Or is that a strip of sham-wow?

I just checked my supplies and I have the streamer thing pretty well covered. I don’t know what happened to all my 8mm Oregon Cheese beads but there are a few and that’ll probably be enough.

@Brute, another easy trick to keep your flies modular is just thread a bead in front of your flesh fly. I’ve even tried two beads in front, different sizes and colors. It’s the swimming buffet—how can they resist? Sort of along the lines of using 14 materials in a fly—maybe they’ll see something in there that they like.

Shoutout to the bitey whiteys!

Bunny for the win!
One of an absolute shitpile of obese trout that have found that combination irresistible over the last 17 years.

Dam - that looks tasty, I'll be adding a couple to the quiver as I imagine fish in the NW corner of the lower 48 might wanna eat that as well from time to time.
Thank you sir!

After all this I never even strung up the floating line. Cast n strip FTW today.
