Wapsi Otters Soft Milking Egg Veil is a fine denier, Antron yarn that perfectly imitates the translucent appearance of the milky white veil surrounding ruptured salmon eggs drifting in the current. Works best in combination with Wapsi Otters Soft Milking Eggs and other egg imitations like Glo-Bugs.
Walt Mueller a popular angler and flytier from the Colorado Rockies is responsible for developing the original ‚Soft Milking Egg‘fly-pattern which he initially fished for steelhead trout fishing in the river shed of the Great Lakes. The ‚Soft Milking Egg‘ imitates a ruptured, drifting fish egg which at all times is a highly attractive food item for any fish species. Due to the high nutritional value associated with eggs and the great visibility egg flies are a superb alternative to nymphs when the water is cold or stained water.
