Egg Patterns
Blood Dot Egg
A realistic egg pattern featuring a contrasting red or orange dot in the center of a pale egg body, mimicking the blood spot visible in developing fish eggs. This added realism makes it effective on heavily pressured waters where trout have seen thousands of standard egg patterns.
