Learn how to tie the Egg Sucking Leech

Thank you...I am looking for easier flies to tie, and this is the one of a few I can do. I tried more sophisticated flies and found frustration so I lost the initiative. Now I am back. Thank you

Glad to help! Our idea is to teach basics and simplicity to help build skill.

Really nice video. Does the copper wire add enough weight to cause the fly to sink? I normally use this sort of fly for salmon. I have been using the chuck n duck rig to get fly down to fish but would rather use a sink tip line, leader and fly presentation. Problem is river I normally fish has swift current and I am thinking the fly goes over the top of the fish , salmon not really eating would not move up to take fly. Not sure how this fly is normally fished/presented to target fish. Could you comment on how to fish this bait?

Thanks Jim, I would suggest you add lead wire to the underbody if you are fishing swift rivers . In Stillwater I use a full Sinking line.

You can use a large tungsten bead in pink orange or chartreuse on the head to add bonus weiht
