- How To Tie an Egg Sucking Leech Tube Fly For Trout Spey and Steelhead - A quick and easy Egg Sucking Leech streamer for Trout Spey swinging. Trout Spey Fly Tying tutorial. SUBSCRIBE HERE: ua-cam.com/users/subscription_...
The egg sucking leech is an iconic fly that has been responsible for catching a wide range of fish species across the world. This Trout Spey streamer pattern tied on a Pro Sportfisher 40/40 tube, was designed to have the fewest "bulky" materials as possible. This fly is easy to cast, has lots of movement and is a proven fish-catcher.
Tube flies are great for trout spey and skagit casting as they are really easy flies to cast. Tube flies offer great advantages for making adjustments to hooks and hook placement (up or down and how far back you'd like them).
The materials used to tie this fly can be swapped out for your favorite egg sucking leech and trout spey fly tying materials. We love greens, blacks, browns and whites for tying this trout spey pattern. We also suggest the use of some weight at the front of the head if your fishing conditions demand the use of weighted flies.
Tight Lines!

I can't thank everyone enough for taking the time to check out our fly tying videos! It really means a lot!
Nice one David! Bass season opens this saturday - heading down to the bench to tie up a couple of these (on a shank) to swing for them! Cheers! Hank
Awesome Hank! Definitely let me know how they do for you!
Great fly and demonstration.
Thank you so much Dan!!
I love fishing but not much a fly fishing fan! but awesome video
Thank you so much! Some day you'll be a fly angler lol
Very nice as always. In all my many flyfishing travels around the world, one thing has been constant. The ability that pro guides have to tie the most effective flies with the minimum of time and materials. No doubt a necessity due to long working hours. Really enjoy watching you work Dave.
Peter, I can't thank you enough for such kind words! That really helps keep me keepin' on!
Finally got to fish this fly today and the trout hammered it. Great profile and movement. Thanks!
That is so awesome! I got some new colors of fun fur that are deadly! Tied a brown one, and oh man.....
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Who carries brown? Joanne Fabrics locally had the black.
@@stephencifka4629 Got it off ebay ;)
I really like the fly tying videos, thanks so much for sharing these patterns. I have been getting interested in trout spey style fishing and one issue that I have found is that many of my favorite weighted trout streamers (e.g. sculpzilla /dali lama ) are hard to cast. I would be very interested in any knowledge you had to share about ways to tie large profile flies while keeping them light and relatively easy to cast. Intruder style flies like the one you show here seem like a cool place to start, but I am sure that there is still a lot of detail in the materials used and their construction that would impact their profile and casting properties.
Hey Jack! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! That is exactly why I started making these videos, to show some bigger profile flies that are light and easy to cast.
When it comes to casting big heavy flies, the first thing I look at is the leader. I usually use 3 or 4 feet of straight 20 lb fluorocarbon or 15 lb maxima in the same length. This will help initially with turnover.
Next is usually the overall system. Most small trout spey setups have a hard time with bigger flies simply due to the sheet mass of flies and what it takes to move them. I hope this makes sense lol
Dave - I'm curious about tying this in a micro version for lighter weight single hand spey on smaller streams and creeks. Specifically total length of around 1" to 1 1/4" in total fly length... Wondering about how effective this pattern might be on smaller streams... I recently started using an 8' 6 piece 3 wt Redington Trout Rod with a 150gr OPST Micro Series Commando head and Floating tip... Thoughts???
Dave, tied this one up today. I was skeptical of the "fun fur" and craft fur wing at first, but after tank testing, it looks great. This is a brilliantly simple, easy to cast pattern. The fly has some transluence with good separation of materials which creates fantastic movement. Can't wait to fish it. Question, do you think it fishes better without flash? Also, it would be very simple to just slip a tungsten bead on the leader up onto the slip knot if you want it weighted. Even without weight it balances well. Thanks a million for your helpful videos. I owe you a beer.
That's awesome! I'd love to see a video of the tank test! I think you could add some copper flash in there and it would be great! And I've used some of the pro sport fisher drop weights and cones and they are excellent. Definitely let me know how it fishes for you!
Tight lines!
@@CooperLandingFishingGuide Well, my tank test is a large stainless steel mixing bowl with running water in the sink, so no video, it's crude, but you can still really see how the fly moves. Good tips on copper flash and the drop weights. Because the fly has good volume and it's light, it really responds to the currents. By the way, I've had good luck with your other trout spey patterns, the cutts love em here in the Pacific NW.
@@stephencifka4629 Lol... better than my swim tank lol! So great to hear some of the other patterns are working for you :)
What's the purpose of a "tube" fly? Is it to make a lighter/neutral buoyant fly than a standard leech pattern? Or to have the opportunity to change out hook size? Or....?
Thank you for the question Bob! One benefit is that you can use a relatively short-shanked hook as opposed to a long hook which generally gives the fish more leverage. A shorter shank usually locks in and is harder for the fish to shake loose. Also, you can tie flies as long or as short as you'd like without having to worry about hook shank length or intruder shank length. Another great benefit is that you can swap out the hook if need be, they are generally easier to cast and overall are much cheaper to tie per fly.
Hope this helps! Thank you again for watching :)
Satan invented craft fur. I hate it . . . but I’ll try again for this fly
It can be such a pain in the butt lol
