Getting Started in Fly Tying: Tying Your First Fly - the Egg Sucking Leech

This video is intended for anyone who wants to tie their first fly. It's an easy pattern to tie and also quite effective.

I watched this video last night, tied two up. First cast this morning.... Walleye. Thanks Peter 👍

Now that's the kind of news I like to read. Thanks for posting. :) It's a great feeling catching a fish on your first fly.

pattern is great.. half hitch lesson too

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

It's going to be great when I get a vice and some supplies. I'll save a fortune on flies in the long run!

[@hooked4lifeca]

That's what we all tell ourselves . .

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

@@hooked4lifeca Yep, just like reloading supplies. I bought a bunch to make my own ammo, and yeah I've spent thousands to shoot 50 rounds lol.

[@normanmanning4872]

Is there a advantage or disadvantage to using a half hitch to the whip finish or is it just a personal preference?

[@hooked4lifeca]

When we're adding glue or head cement, no difference. I would just put in about three half hitches though, not just one. If we're going without head cement, then the whip finish is better.

Your great, thank you. Basic is me!

I've been tyeing for about a year. But no way I'd NOT watch any of your video's. Never to easy to not eatch.
