Overview

The Umpqua Micro Spawn in Oregon Cheese/Flame is a compact, high-visibility egg pattern that excels in situations where subtle presentations make a big difference. Designed to replicate freshly deposited fish eggs, this pattern is especially effective during spawning seasons for trout, salmon, and steelhead. The bright Oregon Cheese body with flame-colored accents gives it strong visual appeal in both clear and off-colored water, triggering instinctual feeding responses from fish holding in deeper pools or tailouts.

Unlike traditional egg flies that can be bulky or overdressed, the Micro Spawn has a small, tight profile that sinks quickly and stays in the strike zone longer. Its compact design allows for stealthy drifts, which are crucial when targeting pressured or heavily fished waters. The color contrast adds depth to its appearance, mimicking the translucency and internal glow of a real egg drifting along the riverbed. Whether you're dead-drifting through a run or bouncing it near structure, the Micro Spawn delivers reliable performance under a wide range of conditions.Read More +
