The Egg Raider pays tribute to the Egg Sucking Leech, but it goes way beyond the traditional ESL platform. This is a killer fly in the Great Lakes for steelhead, trout, and smallmouth; plus it is a popular choice in Alaska. Using the composite loop to bring together UV material, Flashabou and ostrich, this fly swims like a minnow and is tough as nails. The use of 8mm mottled beads from the folks at Trout Beads gives this fly that little extra hot spot and realism.
