Quick take
UV glow yarn for tying egg flies and attracting salmon, steelhead and trout in low-light and discolored water.
This UV-enhanced glow yarn comes in a 12-foot assorted-color pack for tying egg flies and yarn eggs. It is aimed at drift anglers chasing trout, salmon and steelhead. The yarn takes up scent, so it also works as a colorful addition to bait rigs and other tying materials.
Best for
- Egg imitation flies for salmon and steelhead runs
- Tying by anglers with some fly-tying experience
- Patterns targeting fish in fall and spring
Skip if
- You tie mainly dry flies; glow yarn is for nymphs
- You need a specific single color; yarn comes assorted
Strengths
- UV-enhanced material glows under sunlight and fluorescent light
- 12 feet per pack provides quantity for multiple flies
