Taco Tungsten Egg Fly
Introducing the Taco Tungsten Egg Fly – a must-have egg fly in your fly fishing arsenal. Designed to replicate the natural egg patterns that trout and other game fish find irresistible. Tied on a barbed hook with an orange tungsten bead, which adds weight, allowing the fly to sink quickly and maintain a natural drift in both fast-moving currents and deep pools. This ensures that your fly reaches the strike zone faster, staying in front of the fish longer, and increasing your chances of a successful catch.
How to fish egg flies
Fishing with the Taco Tungsten Egg Fly is straightforward and effective. Ideal for nymphing techniques, this fly is best used in rivers and streams where trout feed on eggs during spawning seasons. To get the most out of your Taco Tungsten Egg Fly, use a dead drift method, casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. The added weight from the tungsten bead will help the fly drop quickly into the feeding lanes. For added effectiveness, pair the Taco Tungsten Egg Fly with an indicator to detect subtle strikes or fish it as part of a two-fly rig, with the Taco Tungsten Egg Fly as the point fly.
Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to fly fishing, the Taco Tungsten Egg Fly is a versatile and highly effective choice that belongs in your fly box. With its realistic appearance and the strategic use of tungsten for weight, this fly is designed to help you land more fish.
The Taco Tungsten Egg Fly pattern comes in two hook sizes: #8 and #10, and four colors: Salmon Roe, White, Sockeye, and Peach. Size #8 is tied with a 3.8mm tungsten bead, and hook size #10 with 2.8mm bead.
