Sucking Leech Orange Head Fly Overview
The Sucking Leech Orange Head fly is a variation of the traditional Egg Sucking Leech pattern, which has been a popular and effective choice among anglers for many years. The original Egg Sucking Leech was developed around 1984, becoming known for its productivity in catching fish like salmon and steelhead. This pattern has evolved to include various color variations, including the orange head, which adds an additional attractor element to the fly.
Imitation Design
The Sucking Leech Orange Head typically features a hook suitable for streamers and nymphs, often in sizes 6-12. The distinctive feature of this fly is the orange ultra chenille used to create the egg head. The tail is usually made of purple blood marabou, sometimes with strands of royal blue Krystalflash for added flash. The body is constructed with medium purple chenille, palmered with purple saddle hackle. The combination of these elements results in a fly that is both visually appealing and effective in mimicking a leech consuming an egg.
Sucking Leech Orange Head Fly Best Uses
This fly pattern is particularly effective for targeting species like rainbow trout and salmon, especially during spawning seasons when eggs are a significant part of the fishes' diet. The bright orange head of the fly serves as an excellent trigger mechanism, making it a great choice for fishing in various water conditions. The fly can be fished in a range of methods, including dead drifting, swinging, or with a slow retrieve, depending on the behavior of the target fish and the water conditions.
