Roo's Eggstasy is a super durable egg pattern made from egg yarn for durability and a glass bead for a hot spot. Also imitating dough balls. Best time for use is spring and fall when the trout are spawing, but will land trout all year around. You can fish the Roo's Eggstasy with or without an indicator. Don't forget pinch weight. My favorite way and most productive way is double dropper under an indicator with Hoot's Tungsten Jig Pig as the attractor/anchor. 5x to 6x tapered leader and tippet are excellent choices for both.
