School Me on Sucker Spawn Flies
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2021 7:15 am
Been seeing a lot of posts lately on Facebook, etc. of good sized trout being caught on sucker spawn flies. I'm not familiar at all with this type of fly, I guess it's an egg pattern? I've never fished anything resembling an egg pattern, so I'm looking for a general education on how to use them.
Looks like sucker spawn patterns in particular are offered in all types of colors (white, orange, green, red, pink, and more), beadhead and non-beadhead variations, and in sizes from 8 all the way up to 16 or 18.
Any recommendations on size and colors for trout?
Do they work all year round, or only at certain times?
Do they pair particularly well with any other type of fly under an indicator?
Should they be fished as close to the bottom as possible, or do they fish better suspended somewhere higher in the water?
Sorry for all the questions, appreciate any info you guys can offer, thanks!
