Field Notes

Fish it as a streamer imitation of a leech with an egg trigger, especially when salmon and steelhead are keyed on larger prey or egg patterns. It is well suited to swinging, stripping, or dead-drifting in rivers and runs where fish are holding near cover or current seams.

Pros

  • Combines leech profile with an egg attractor
  • Effective for salmon and steelhead
  • Simple, versatile river presentation

Cons

  • Not ideal for tiny flies or ultra-clear, pressured water
  • Best results usually depend on matching local hatch/egg conditions
