Ice Dub Head Egg Sucking Leech

September in Northern Michigan means Salmon and Steelhead are on the way! By far, one of the most popular flies in our bins and on the river every year is the egg sucking leech. You can dead drift it, jig it, strip it or swing it making it an extremely versatile fly.
This version has a significantly messier head than what you'll find in our bins which can give the fly a little bit more "life" in the water. This is a technique we use a lot for swing flies tied for fall steelhead and is a great alternative to touch dubbing.

This could be my new go-to esl for Erie steelhead instead of the mcfly foam head. Thanks for the tutorial & tight lines.

Very nice! I'm heading to Lake Superior in a week. I'll give it a try!

I like that you cut your thread. Happens to everybody.

Simple but deadly!

Great tie. Would recommend to have a brighter back drop.
