Overview

The Umpqua Flashtail Mini Egg in Pink Champagne is a precision-crafted pattern designed to match the appearance and behavior of drifting salmonid eggs during key spawning periods. Whether you’re fishing tailwaters, freestone rivers, or stillwater drop-offs, this egg imitation delivers consistent results in cold-season conditions when trout, steelhead, and other game fish turn their focus to eggs as a primary food source. The soft pink champagne coloration offers a natural and subdued egg tone that closely mimics the real thing, while a subtle flash tail introduces a glint of movement that sets it apart in mixed light or stained water.

This pattern excels in both clear and lightly tinted water where fish are examining flies closely, and its dense build ensures it reaches strike zones quickly without compromising drift quality. It’s an ideal choice for fishing under indicators or as part of a two-fly nymph rig, offering enough visual appeal to serve as either the attractor or the trailer. The egg’s small size and soft profile make it a perfect match for pressured fisheries where subtlety and realism are crucial. Particularly effective during fall and winter months, the Flashtail Mini Egg in Pink Champagne is a proven performer for both selective and opportunistic fish.Read More +
