Hard acrylic or glass bead pegged two inches above a bare hook. The most realistic egg imitation available. Controversial in some circles, devastatingly effective in all of them.

Yarn egg pattern in fluorescent colors. Dead-drifted through salmon spawning runs. The universal currency of Alaskan rivers from June through October.

Pale pink/tan rabbit strip imitating decomposing salmon flesh drifting downstream after the spawn. The most important post-spawn pattern in Alaska's rainbow trout fishery.

Weighted version of the classic flesh fly with a brass or tungsten bead for faster sink rate. Gets down quickly in deep post-spawn pools where trophy rainbows hold.

Small, bright pink flesh-egg hybrid pattern developed specifically for the Iliamna drainage. Imitates both salmon eggs and small chunks of flesh that drift through post-spawn tributaries.

The same universally effective nymph that works everywhere in North America. Peacock herl body, white biot wings, brown hackle. In Alaska, it fills the gap when fish are not keyed on eggs or flesh.
