Egg Sucking Leech Streamer

The Egg Sucking Leech combines two of the most effective fish-catching triggers in one fly — a dark leech body and a bright egg-colored bead head. The contrast between the fluorescent bead and the dark marabou body creates a fly that trout and bass attack with conviction. It's one of the most aggressive-looking patterns in the streamer world, and fish respond to it accordingly.

When to Fish It

Year-round, but especially effective during and after spawning season when egg patterns are producing. Strip it through deep runs, swing it through pools, or dead-drift it below spawning redds. The marabou tail pulses and breathes on every movement, creating an irresistible swimming action. Also deadly on bass in warmwater ponds and lakes. Size 10.

Why Anglers Stock This Fly

The Egg Sucking Leech is a big-fish pattern. The combination of the egg bead and leech body triggers both egg-feeding and predatory instincts simultaneously. It's the fly you tie on when you want to move fish — not just catch them, but provoke strikes from the biggest ones in the pool. Hand-tied with quality materials by tiers with over 30 years of experience.
