Rvrrat,
This might be fly fishing heresy---but I tried to match the hatch. (I am a diehard streamer guy) So--- I did an exhaustive search trying to understand the egg cycle of the brown trout. The eggs change color etc. One egg pattern I used is the Otters egg 6 mm in Apricot to catch fish. I threaded the egg up the leader two inches above the eye of the hook and used Crazy Glue to keep the egg in position---this works fairly well. This setup keeps the fish from swallowing the hook. Bead/egg patterns also work well. I hope this helps. Walk a river and have some fun.
