This is a pattern of my own design that is not your traditional estaz egg. The vast majority of Estaz eggs you see for steelhead today are tied with the Estaz wrapped around the hook shank to create a ball shape. However, I prefer to tie my Estaz eggs like sucker spawn with all the material above the hook gap. I feel this gives the fly angler a slight edge in hooking steelhead: the little loops of material are more likely to get caught in a steelhead's teeth giving the fly angler just a little more time to set the hook and the clear hook gap ensures there is nothing to slow down or impede the hook set.
