Think fishing the Y2K in discolored water, high water, fast water

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]e are prepared for you to laugh at this ridiculous looking fly (egg pattern?), but ask at any fly shop in Alaska and this little “thang” will out-sell a lot of traditional patterns – for a good reason.

Egg patterns work but some will call it cheating. Some fly fisherman draw that ethical line at dry flies, some at nymphing.  Somewhere below that lies a line with the words “egg pattern” written on it.

Simple works, try it

No need for a recipe, just watch Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions tie the Y2K.
