Egg Sucking Leech - Olive

Egg Sucking Leech – Olive

The Egg Sucking Leech - Olive is a deadly combination pattern that pairs two of the most irresistible triggers in fly fishing — a bright egg head and a flowing leech body. The olive marabou tail pulses and breathes with every strip, imitating a leech swimming through the current, while the fluorescent egg bead up front adds a high-visibility attractor element that steelhead, salmon, and large trout simply can't ignore. Olive is a natural, versatile color that produces in clear water and a wide range of river conditions.
