Yarn/Egg Material FAQ

Q: What are yarn and egg materials used for in fly tying?
A: Yarn and egg materials are primarily used to tie egg patterns, indicators, and fly bodies. They mimic natural fish eggs or create buoyant, visible patterns that attract trout, steelhead, and salmon—especially in spawning seasons.

Q: What types of yarn and egg materials are available?
A: Common options include Glo Bug Yarn, McFly Foam, Egg Yarn, Aero Dry Wing, and Antron or Poly Yarn. Each has different textures, densities, and colors suited for egg patterns, parachute posts, or dry fly wings.

Q: What’s the difference between Glo Bug Yarn and McFly Foam?
A: Glo Bug Yarn is a soft, fibrous material that absorbs water slightly for a natural look underwater. McFly Foam is denser and more buoyant, great for perfectly round, vibrant eggs that stay visible and high-floating.

Q: Can I use egg materials for other flies besides eggs?
A: Absolutely. Yarn and foam-based egg materials are versatile. They can be used for strike indicators, parachute posts, San Juan worms, and emergers. Many tiers also blend them into bodies for attractor nymphs or steelhead patterns.

Q: How do I tie an egg pattern using yarn or foam?
A: Tie a short section of yarn onto the hook, cinch with a tight thread wrap, trim it round, and fluff with a needle. Adjust size and density based on target species—smaller for trout, larger for steelhead or salmon.

Q: Are these materials available in UV or fluorescent colors?
A: Yes. Many yarns and foams come in fluorescent or UV-reactive colors that stand out in stained or low-light conditions. These shades can improve visibility and trigger reaction bites from fish.

Q: Are egg materials environmentally safe?
A: Most modern yarns and foams are non-toxic and made from synthetic fibers designed for long-term use. Always dispose of scraps responsibly when tying or fishing.

Q: Why carry yarn and egg materials at Drift Outfitters?
A: Because egg patterns are essential for Great Lakes and Pacific salmon, trout, and steelhead fishing. Drift Outfitters stocks a wide selection of colors and textures from Hareline, Wapsi, Flybox, and McFly Foam, helping anglers tie realistic, effective eggs for any water condition.
