Discover the "OS-3" pattern
The "OS-3" (Otter's Soft Sucker Spawn) pattern can be used for steelhead and all trout species, with emphasis on all the Great Lakes tributaries for spring and fall run steelhead. In late spring into early summer, the suckers spawn on these tributaries, thus the "OS-3" is a very productive fly pattern for both steelhead and trout. Also use the OS-3 on rivers and streams in all the western and eastern tail waters is especially productive, due to the small egg size of the pattern used on fish that have been hooked numerous times in catch and release areas. This pattern can be tied as a single egg on a #18 or #20 hook, double and triple eggs on a #16 hook, a quad of four on a # 14 hook, 6 eggs on a #12 hook, or finally 8 eggs on a #8 or #10 hook. The pattern also uses Otter's Milking Veil trilobal antron material as a veil to give the pattern a "milking egg" look, as with other Otter's "Soft Milking Egg"® patterns. Either a scud hook or regular hook can be used; we prefer the scud hook design, on 2 X heavy wire for large fish, such as steelhead, or an up eye scud hook, regular or light wire, for normal sized trout. This finished fly should take numerous fish as long as you carefully unhook all fish with your forceps placed on the steel bend of the hook behind the egg materials and not on the egg material. As with our other "Soft Milking Egg"® patterns, this pattern is also very soft and translucent which closely and accurately mimics numerous sucker species and whitefish spawn. Since the egg material is soft it allows more hookups as a fish is not as apt to spit it out so quickly. It's the real deal! |
