		Would anyone like to give me instructions or a web link on how to tie an egg pattern?  
  
I went on my first fly fishing trip in UT with a fly class, it was cold and really fun, exept it would have been funner if I would have caught something. 
  
Thanks, 
Dan

		Need to know what kind of egg pattern you are interested in.  There is the glow bug which is a yarn egg (easy to tie, not sure about trying to explain) then there is the bead egg and the hot glue egg.  Let us know and I am sure one of us can answer you.  By the way, good work with the vets.

		Thank you Flygoddess, I am disabled myself, by the military, so anyone I can help get their benefits through the VA makes me feel good. 
  
The type of egg I wanted to tie is the yarn egg, although the hot glue egg might be interesting to tie also.  Congrats on becoming a member of the Mod squad, you will find a lot of good people running their boards.

		Yes, I was in Navi's class, and I will stop and talk with James and see if he could give me a quick lesson.

		Yesterday I played around with hot glue eggs.  I found that if I made a small bead with a darker color then covered it with a lighter color it looks pretty amazing, especially underwater.  I will see if I can get a pic on here soon.

		[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 4]Now that is probably one fly [if you can call it that] that I could see to make. Guess that I would have to replace my glue gun which has been lying in a draw for years. In those days [ancient time] glue sticks seem to come in only one color. Red or yellow eggs should draw some attention.[/size][/green][/font]
