EGG sucking leech question - OldTroller - 07-18-2010
What is you favorite color of egg on an egg sucking leech?
If it varies please say when to use which color.
Oh and what size leech i.e. 10 2X or 6 3X.

this is easy for me neon green or orange. Because that is what steelhead have a hard time not eating. For the size I like a 2-6 seems to work just fine

Yup. Chartreuse (or Florescent Orange) on Blood / Burgundy/black Semi -Seal or chenille.

I hate egg sucking leeches. But love egg sucking glo bugs.

Purple or burgandy marrabou leech with a chartreuse egg.
Black just seems to be too dark and chases the fish away, unless I am night fishing.
