TH Eggi Juan Kenobi
Take a San Juan worm, add an egg and a tunghead bead to get it down and you have an irresistible combination for trout and steelhead, particularly in the Great Lakes region, but this pattern will work anywhere. Orvis customers gave the original pattern without the bead five stars over thirteen reviews. Quite the testimonial.In red, pink, brown, wine, tan. In size: 14.

"I'll back Rugby on the immediate effectiveness of this pattern when the coho hit the river earlier this week. It was slow, and once the eggi hit the water, we all had fish on. That's for spotting us the flies Rugby, make sure you tie enough for the group come November!!"

"Used this on a whim while Salmon fishing on the Salmon River in NY this past week. We had landed some Kings and Cohos earlier in the day, but then it got slow. Almost immediately I started getting takes and hook ups. Landed this Coho, then had to pass out the eggi Juan to my compatriots...same results! Looks like I'll be tying up alot more getting ready for the November Steel head run"

"I like the look and it is well made. Great idea to put the 2 together. I have caught many a fish on the San Juan worm and egg patterns so why not together. I have used this on 2 outings so far unfortunately without any takers. I will keep trying though."

great fly,
May 16, 2011
By: Johnny83
"For some reason i always try this when all my other patterns fail to land me a trout. The trout love hitting this fly. Put this fly on during a slow day and it will do the work for you. Thanks orvis for making this pattern available.
Wild brookies love hitting this when you are fishing small brooks.
**I practice C & R** This fly could easily clean out a small brook"

"fished this fly on the elk river in Wv. I don't get to fish as much a I like and I'm a little slow on the hook set. This in not a problem with the eggi juan. They just keep coming after this fly. I hooked a nice bow and played it for a while before it got off. I could see the fish laying in the shallows resting. I cast back to him and he took the eggi juan again."

"Eggi Juan is another genius creation by Mr. Hise. This is another one of my personal favorites, and I've seen this fly work on both coasts of the U.S. Most importantly I have had days were I couldn't buy a fish, throw out an eggi juan and go home smiling."

November 19, 2008

"The Eggi Juan Kenobi is a great fly and it has caught a lot of fish for me. It's one of those patterns which makes you say, "Hey, that's brilliant. I wish I would have thought of that before Hise did." Mind you the fish don't know who developed the fly, all they see is something yummy drifting past them. While most steelhead and brown trout fishermen will use this pattern in a river, I have found that it works well along the edges of the Great Lakes. In stillwater, you must watch for very, very soft takes."

"There are many anglers out there who believe that fishing an egg or a worm imitation is beneath them. While they are trying to figure out there own existence and why they never got invited to any parties in college...I say...move forward and bring on the pigs!!! I have taken fish with this fly in Colorado, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ontario."

"Fishing the other day, I tried everything and no hits, untill i tied on an Eggie Juan! I'm here to tell ya, it was like flipping a switch! The trout were fighting for this little morsel!!! It turned a grim looking day of failure into an exciting day of fun! The next day, I bought a handfull of them. Bottom line - you want to catch fish, tie on this pattern!"

"So simple, yet unbelievable how the trout tear this up. Combining two of the most common and effective flies to create this little piece of magic was simply genius. Great fly Dave. If you want to catch fish, and who doesn't, give this a try and you won't be disappointed."

"I spent all day Saturday fly fishing. I noticed small #18 - #20 stoneflies crawling around. I rigged up a small stonefly and an Eggi Juan. In 10 years of fly fishing I have never hooked up so many fish in a single day. I literally stopped count at about 25. I figure I finished at about 90 - 100 fish. Maybe two or three of the fish took the stonefly, the rest inhaled the Eggi Juan. I took the stonefly off and added another Kenobi and began recieving double hits. One fish on and another would shark after the other Kenobi. After fishing much of the water, I started in the same spot from where I began, with the double Kenobi rig. First cast...fish on. I fished the entire day with the double Kenobi set-up. Needless to say, I didn't have the opportunity to practice my cast, via double, triple casts to find where the fish were holding. I spent most of the day practicing my netting technique. Thanks Eggi Juan."

"You almost want to pinch yourself when you start catching fish on this fly. I have had many move two or three feet out of there feeding lanes to gulp down this tasty treat. How did it ever take this long for someone to combine these super productive flies. Kudos to Hise!"

"I had a buddy who had bought a few of these puppies and told me they were trout candy. He gave me one on the promise I would use it as a top fly next time I was dropper rigging for trout. My go to is a #18 PT with a tungston head and I fish that when I am going dry and dropper. Well it has gotten cold so I started using a two fly dropper rig and tried the OJK today. WOW......WOW.......WOW....
The fish just wouldn't leave the critter alone. They ate it untill the chenille started to peel. I only had two, but not anymore. Rarely get something new to earn some room in the box, but today some old standby's are gonna move over."
