How Do You Make Fly Fishing Eggs?

Fly fishing eggs can make an effective bait for catching fish in a variety of conditions. Whether you’re fly fishing for trout, salmon, steelhead, or bass, it pays to have a few of these in your tackle box. Fly fishing eggs are easy to make and can be used in various ways.

Egg yolks and an attractant like Pro-Cure Super Gel or Glo-Bugs are the basic components needed for making fly fishing eggs. It is important to use fresh egg yolks, as older ones may not hold together well when cast into the water.

To get started, crack open an egg and separate the yolk from the white. Place the yolk in a bowl and gradually add small amounts of your chosen attractant until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to wet clay.

Once you have achieved the desired consistency, it is time to shape your fly fishing eggs. You can use different molds or simply roll them into small balls, about the size of a pea or smaller. Be careful not to compress them too much, as this can make them break apart easily when cast into the water.

After shaping the eggs, place them on wax paper to dry completely before using them. This will help ensure that they hold together well during casting and retrieval, and will not easily break apart when taken by a fish.

Adding Color – You can also add color to your fly fishing eggs if desired by mixing in some food dye with your attractant before shaping them into balls. This is not necessary but many anglers like to use colored eggs for added visibility in murky water.

Fly fishing eggs are an effective bait that can be used in many different situations depending on what kind of fish you’re Targeting. They’re easy to make, durable enough to withstand casting and retrieval, and can be customized with color for added visibility in murky waters.

Conclusion:

Fly fishing eggs are a great bait to have at your disposal when out on the water. Making fly fishing eggs is simple – just mix up egg yolks with an attractant such as Pro-Cure Super Gel or Glo-Bugs until it reaches a consistency similar to wet clay, roll it into small balls, allow it to dry completely, then add color if desired before using it on your next outing!
