The Purple Egg-Sucking Leech - Chartreuse Egg is an exceptional fly pattern, perfect for targeting steelhead and Pacific salmon. This fly combines a vibrant chartreuse egg as a bright indicator with a dark, agitating purple leech body, which triggers aggressive strikes from fish. The contrast between the egg and the leech body makes this pattern highly visible, even in murky waters or fast currents, making it an essential choice for anglers fishing during spawning seasons.

The soft, flowing movement of the leech body mimics natural prey such as leeches or small baitfish, while the chartreuse egg serves as a visual attractor, drawing fish in from a distance. The combination of the irritating body and bright egg triggers predatory instincts in steelhead and salmon, encouraging them to strike.

To fish the Purple Egg-Sucking Leech - Chartreuse Egg effectively, cast it across or downstream and allow it to swing through the current. You can also retrieve it with short, erratic strips to mimic the motion of a fleeing leech. This fly is particularly effective in deep pools, fast currents, and near spawning beds, where steelhead and Pacific salmon are actively feeding.
