## **Understanding Flame Roe Egg Flies**
The **Flame Roe Egg Fly** is designed to imitate the bright orange or pink eggs released by spawning salmon or trout. These eggs drift in the current, attracting opportunistic feeders like trout, steelhead, and even char. The **flame color variation**—a mix of bright orange and pink—is especially effective in stained or slightly murky water where visibility is key.
### **Why Sizes 10 & 12?**
– **Size 10**: A slightly larger profile, ideal for aggressive fish or when eggs are more prominent in the water (e.g., during active salmon spawning).
– **Size 12**: A more subtle option, perfect for pressured fish or clear water conditions where a natural presentation is crucial.

## **Key Factors When Choosing Flame Roe Egg Flies**
### **1. Water Conditions & Clarity**
– **Stained or Murky Water**: The **flame (orange-pink) color** stands out better, making **Size 10** a strong choice.
– **Clear Water**: A smaller **Size 12** appears more natural and less suspicious to wary fish.
### **2. Fish Species & Behavior**
– **Trout**: Often prefer smaller egg patterns (**Size 12**) unless actively feeding on larger spawn.
– **Steelhead**: More aggressive, frequently striking **Size 10** flies, especially in faster currents.
### **3. Fishing Technique**
– **Dead Drift**: A natural presentation where the fly drifts like a real egg. **Size 12 excels here**.
– **Swung or Stripped**: For a more aggressive approach, **Size 10** provides better visibility and movement.
