This week we join Taylor in the studio as he ties the Sunnyside Up Egg! This egg pattern is a little tricky with the wrapping and possibly with securing the bead, but Taylor does a great job of sharing his techniques, and this is certainly a pattern you want in your box right now!!! Fly fishing with egg patterns in the fall can be highly effective, especially during the spawning season when fish are focused on feeding on eggs that drift downstream. Did you like that MFC Mat??? Head over here to snag one before they are gone!
