Hi Tim: Thank you so much for featuring my fly. At last count it has taken 96 different species of fish and hopefully it will help other anglers catch some big fish.
Definitely pick up a copy of Stu's book! So many great fly patterns. Stu is one of the kindest, most generous fly fishers I've ever met and his DDH leech catches everything! I'd definitely recommend grabbing some of Stu's Darkwater dubbing, it's great stuff.
That's a cool pattern. I have begun using different points on my vise to measure proportions as well. I have also started to use the number of lead wraps on my nymphs to inform me of a deadly accurate tie in point for wing cases so as to maintain that sexy consistency..
It’s hard to imagine a leech looking pretty, but this one does look pretty. Vocabulary question- is “yoke wrap” your personal term? I call it a “cradle wrap,” since I didn’t know an established term for this type of wrap.

Great looking fly! Also, I can no longer cement the head of a fly without saying to myself "Here, Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails" every single time.

Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern. So many color options for multiple species.
Stu is a great man. His book is excellent too.
Nice Douglas plug! I love my Douglas rods!!
I’ve meet stu on multiple occasions and can say he is an absolute amazing person to talk with and he is one of the best fly designers I’ve known
Excellent job on the fly as well as channeling your inner Dr. Seuss around the 4:50 mark.
Thank you for another great video. Can’t wait to try and tie some of these up.
Classic fly!

Grip the slips with the chip clip! Love it.
Thanks Tim👍
Great video and a simple, fun fly. Tied some for Florida bass with a weed guard. This would be a goo tie-off fly with Tom Rosenbauer. Thanks.
Using a clip .
Thank you very much .

Cool ❤
I tie something similar to this, except I throw some rubber legs on behind the eyes for added movement

Ann you suggest the materials used for the other colors you showed
how do this on Troot?
Loop knot is not good for up eye hook.
Why not? I’ve used it for years without a problem.
