The soft egg cluster works well in both stillwater and moving water. The veil adds a natural look and the hook holds well. I’ve used it on steelhead and it’s been a solid addition to my fly box.

It’s a good match for salmon patterns. The size 8 fits perfectly on my favorite stream rods. The egg cluster looks realistic and the hook is easy to tie on.

I caught several fish using this fly during a late spring trip. The soft texture of the egg balls mimics natural food sources and the curved hook gives a natural retrieve.
