The Egg Sucking Leech is a classic steelhead and salmon pattern. In this video, I tie it with a chartreuse egg. I also tie this patter with a hot pink egg as well as an orange egg, and occasionally I'll switch the black rabbit strip to purple. So many variations for this fly, and they all work!

Materials used in this video:

Hook: Size 6 Mustad Single Salmon. Sometimes this hook can be hard to find. In that case, substitute any 3xl streamer hook, such as the Ahrex NS110,https://precisionflyandtackle.com/collections/hooks/products/ahrex-ns110-streamer-ns110-hook?ref=fpNnc7VK5A5FNO
