A leach sucking egg ??

Years ago back in the 40’s when I first started tying, the very popular Woolly Worm patterns often incorporated a turn of red chenille near the rear of the fly. As I think of those patterns today, I can see that the turn of red chenille could easily resemble an egg at the rear of the fly.

Therefore, could we (or should we) really consider this pattern a “Leach Sucking Egg”?

Food for thought from an old tier.

We already have a EGG SUCKING LEECH in our fly selections. Why change the wording around??? BILL

You missed the point, its a joke. But then we could also call it a “Leach Pooping an Egg” since the egg is at the rear of the fly.
