The Frammus is an egg pattern from the Salmon River. Its tied differently than most egg patterns but works great for steelhead. This is also one of my favorite egg patterns for stream trout. The best color combinations are chartreuse/red and orange.
Hook: MFC no. 7045 size 12-16
Thread: Red, Orange, or Chartreuse 6/0
Body: orange or chartreuse vernille or micro chenille
Wing: Red Glo-Bug Yarn
STEP 1: With your scud hook in the vise, attach your 6/0 thread and wrap back to the tie in point.
STEP 2: Tie in a length of vernille. Make several wraps over the vernille or micro chenille and wrap your thread up to 1/8th in behind the hook eye.
STEP 3: Wrap the vernille or micro chenille up to the thread and tie off with several thread wraps. Trim off the excess.
STEP 4: Take a piece of Glo-Bug yarn and separate it into a strand approx. twice the diameter of the vernille you use. Tie it in to form a wing that extends to the hook barb.
STEP 5: Fold the strand of Glo-Bug yarn over the wing secure down with several thread wraps.
STEP 6: Cut the top piece of Glo-Bug yarn that was folded back so that it is half the size of the first wing. Make a couple of half-hitches and cut your thread.
