GREAT JOB! The purple and the white one look great. Have you taken them for a test run yet? The only concern I would have is with the eyes on top of the hook, with a down eye hook they may roll over and swing upside down (which might not be a bad thing - the fish won't care and less snags with the point up.)
Great wrapping! Steve from GI

Thanks for the kind words guys, Do you think that I should tie the fly's with eye's upside down so they dont flip underwater?
I can never get the "Egg" to look rounder on the ESL's..any hints?
I haven't taken them for a test run yet, I thought about tossing them in the fish tank, But, that just wouldn't have the same effect. I am hoping to get down to the mouth of some certain creeks this weekend to see what I can drum up. My wife always interfere's with my fishing plans though. Looks like Sunday is my best chance to escape.

I dont think a round egg will make much difference. As long as its contrasting color, and "egged" shape. Frig, on the salmon they use Blue eggs sometimes, how real can that be!
As for tips, I have the same issue. Especially since the egg always flows into the body. Its being sucked right? So it should be distorted. Thats what I tell myself at least.

Estaz works great for the egg on ESL's as well. A clump of glo bug yarn on top and bottom, then trimmed to shape can work too.

Took the words right out of my mouth, i love estaz for ESL.
I have had good luck putting clouser eyes behind the egg as well...more like a "minnow sucking leach".
