    What are you doing differently with the sucker spawn that you didn't before. Maybe that's one of those flys should be unweighted and has to be fished with an indicator and split shot, along maybe with the glow bug.

    Not sure.

    Change the position of the flies. Put the heavier fly on the dropper and the lighter nymph at the point.

    with all the mass material, you sucker spawn must be very weighted for euro nymphing!

    I think this fly would have problems to go to the bottom quickly... no?

    if you interested in junk flies, I've got an efficient model. I like it a lot...
    This on could be good for euro technique.

    go on google and search : muletor

    initially this is a fly for saltwater but very efficient in rivers too.

    I caught some fishes in the Carribean with this one... and a few in rivers... easy to tie... quite efficient...
    and you can tye it in different weight and sizes accordingly to the stream you want to fish with.
    tell me what you think.

    No.. I tie the sucker spawn on the point and I put the anchor on the dropper. I don't weight my eggs type patterns.

    Perhaps there is something I didn't understand. English fishing vocabulary isn't so easy for me..

    The fly is one I always got in my box. The marabout makes living the nymph.
