Purple Glacier Drift Egg

The Glacier Drift Egg is a premium egg fly built for anglers chasing fall and winter steelhead, salmon, and trout throughout the Great Lakes watershed. Its dark profile, soft texture, and natural movement make it highly effective in deep pools, stained water, and low-light conditions.

Bold enough to grab attention and fool wary fish, the Purple Glacier Drift Egg is a proven producer throughout the steelhead season. Built with a soft, translucent material that drifts naturally with the current, this pattern is an excellent choice for pursuing Great Lakes steelhead on renowned rivers throughout Steelhead Alley and beyond.

Perfect for Great Lakes steelhead, salmon, and brown trout, the Glacier Drift Egg is highly effective on the Salmon River, Cattaraugus Creek, Oswego River, Oak Orchard Creek, and other top steelhead rivers. Fish it under an indicator, dead-drift through spawning runs, or tight-line it through winter holding water for consistent hookups.

We have over 20 colors of Glacier Drift Eggs available: Fl. White, Cream, Fl. Yellow, Chartreuse, Purple, Minnow Blue, Apricot, Fl. Fire, Fl. Orange, Shell Pink, Cheese, Peach, Hot Orange, Fl. Red. Fl. Pink, Roe, Early Roe, Fuchsia, Pink, and Salmon Pink.

I use sturdy 2 extra-strong glo-bug egg hooks, double-whip finishes, and cemented heads on the flies for extra durability.
