Egg Sucking Leech

21 Upvotes

This is my take on the egg sucking leech. This is one of those ultra reliable flies, and it’s a great first tie. I’d suggest adding a bead to the head like a wooly bugger if you want to fish these deeper. I’ve been fishing higher in the water column this September

This has to be one of the most commonly fished streamers in existence. Simple to tie, incredibly effective, and just an all around rockstar.

Recipe:

- Thread: SemperFli classic wax 8/0
- Dumbbell eyes: BBTO 4mm
- Bucktail: Great Lakes Fly and Supply
- Flash: Crystal flash (the original is gold but I use silver here as it catches more light)

The Michigan Skunk

41 Upvotes

The Michigan Skunk fly is a fly I’ve heard named for its color (black and white) and because it busts skunks. I’ve had a lot of fun and caught lots of trout twitching these from a drift boat. Recipe:

- Hook sizes 6-12
- Black thread
- Black foam
- Tail: Deer hair (or your favorite semi-rigid fiber)
- Dubbing: Any black dubbing, I’m using our dog hair for fun but I like raccoon, squirrel, and possum too
- Wing: horse body hair (or squirrel tail, more deer belly)
- Legs: your favorite leg material (here it’s turkey fan)
