Try Richard Price in the Palmer office.
for a sweet looking egg pattern, tie the egg using krystal flash and wrap a white color in front with a fairly webby hackle. Tie the KF in facing to the rear, fold over using a straw that has a slot cut out in the bottom, tie it off right behind the eye of the hook (you mileage may vary here) and trim. Now take a pair of hair stackers and slide the wrap and egg back. Essentially you will end up with a pear shape when first tied down and trimmed. Once you slide the KF back far enough to take the turn or two of hackle it will come into more of a round shape. About as good as it gets in the water IMHO, I'd even go as far to say it's better then any bead out there.
Last but not least I'm sure you're well aware fish will at times take something that is out of the ordinary. Meaning you are fishing in some kind of hatch, say eggs and they are all bright colored, don't hesitate to throw a chartuese egg into the mix. Sometimes just the odd color is the ticket to get them to bite.
If you are going for grayling I wouldn't waste your time with eggs.
The chums in Fairbanks don't usually start showing up till July. I've caught chums as late as November with the coho's in the interior though not as plentiful as the ealier run, they are definatly around and pound for pound will out fight any coho alive!
Good luck and let us know how you did on the trip.
