Thom Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Anyone try this new fly called the BH TH Eggi Juan Kenobi. Take a San Juan worm, add an egg and a tunghead bead to get it down and you have an irresistible combination for trout and steelhead, particularly in the Great Lakes region, but this pattern will work anywhere. Orvis customers gave the original pattern without the bead five It sure looks like it would work at Taney and be easy to tie. Thom Harvengt
DaddyO Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Yes. I've tied this fly. It worked well on the Lower Illinois river, here in Oklahoma. I tied it with a brown worm, brown thread and yellow and pink egg. DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.

It looks like something that the fish would want to "kill" before it started reproducing in the lake.
TroutFearMe Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I just tied one and put it in my experimental box for next weekend at Montauk I will let everyone know how it did.

DoveTail Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I tried it at Bennett this spring and no luck, but didn't catch any on other egg patterns either. Probably will work better in the fall? So far it hasn't been a killer pattern.
