The egg-sucking leech, featured in Postfly's January fly tying kit, was the first fly that I wanted to tie because it looked just so damn effective on winter and early springtime fish, no matter where you are in the country.
The best part is that I was right, this pattern has long become a staple in every flybox all around the country, whether you're swinging flies for stubborn steelhead or ripping it through a seam in search of a hungry brown. Even better than a fly that's so effective is one that's also just as easy to tie.
