If the eggs are stuck / adhered to a foot and do not dry out on the way to another water body how do the eggs get off the foot? A lot of fish eggs, but not all are very sticky when laid. They stick tightly to what surface they are laid on to endure current, wave action, and in the case of nest builders(sunfishes) withstand the fanning, sweeping and nest cleaning of the male parent fish. I had to use a putty knife to remove carp eggs from the underwater side of a boat.
