Description

The Egg Sucking Squirmy Leech combines the seductive movement of squirmy material with the proven effectiveness of a leech pattern. Its slim profile and heavy bead ensure it sinks quickly to reach the strike zone, making it a deadly choice in situations where fish are focused on leeches. The addition of an "egg-sucking" hot spot adds an extra element of attraction, triggering aggressive strikes from trout, bass, and other opportunistic feeders.

Pro Tip

Fish the Egg Sucking Squirmy Leech using a dead drift under an indicator in slow runs or stillwater, or strip it slowly in lakes and ponds to mimic a swimming leech. For added effectiveness, let the fly sink fully, then use a combination of short, erratic strips and pauses to activate the squirmy material's lifelike movement. Pair it with a smaller nymph or egg pattern as a dropper to target multiple feeding preferences. In stained or high water, the hot spot can be especially effective at drawing attention, so don't hesitate to fish it in murky conditions!
