The Egg Sucking Mite

Egg Sucking Mite



The Egg Sucking Mite is tied as a Hellgrammite pattern. Being opportunistic feeders they will consume roe, which prompted this pattern. The hot-spot of orange makes this pattern extremely effective as it tumbles. This ESM fishes well as both a tandem or solo fly, either dredged deep or bounced through riffles.
