I had a great afternoon fly fishing with my 12 year old daughter...until we discovered what leeches were (after looking at our legs). I was then excited to fish a leech pattern. She was less excited. Lol! Can’t wait to try this pattern!
Been tying these for forty years. I don't use any wire. I fish Utah /Wyoming /Idaho lakes. I don't use any other subsurface fly. Hot Orange and Olive are the only colors you need. Tight lines.
Large or small a black (zonker) leach has been my most productive fly on largemouth and perch, but marabou is just as productive. Dedeaux Snake and Poppers produce my largest though. I just picked up a Huge truck load of trash…time to go cast a leach fly! 👍🎣 Love your dog, he’s ready to chase the ball. 🙂 Great laugh at you moonin the train.😂 Thanks Huge one!
I use beer cans for Christmas Tree ornaments. (But I don't drink) I'm getting to be quite the fly tyer. (Still working on the fly fishing fishing thang)
Whats your opinion on foam flies in general can you say something about efficiency and effectiveness, for me it would be a HUGE thing because i like them but not very effective with them. Mostly for bass like fishes.
Actually lead in this form isn't bad. Even if ingested, it does not stay in the body long enough to be absorbed before excretion. It's the pulverized lead like that in paint that's harmful.
This huge pattern looks so nice for pumping out a bunch of flied ties quickly, definitely gonna try it out!
Fantastic straightforward fly, and thanks for the tip on the marabou differences. Always wonder why some bags looked like crap.
These videos are the only good things about Monday’s
Every Monday morning 🌄 is not a good day before I watch Huge! Thank you.
Happy Huge day everyone !
This is enormous (huge). ✌️❤️🎣
That thing really does look like a little damselfly nymph if you tie it small and sparse! I'll have to try that. Thanks Ben.

I tied this pattern one day while just using up leftover Maribou. Drifted it through a hole on the lower flats on the Juan. Nailed three in one hole.
3:54 “Flying this tie” 😜 best sentence of the video
Sweet thanks man just started tying and I am going to go try this out.

The pink version can be dead drifted for steelhead or salmon, going to try that this weekend.
It’s Monday, baybeeeeeeee!!!!!

Yay, it’s another upload that isn’t 2 min.
This guys awesome
what rod do you use for the leeches? What leader? What tippet?
Counter wrap the feather that way the wire is easier to secure to the hook and when you tighted it tightens the wire not push the wire away..
Thanks👍
I’m new to tying, I’ll try that one

For bass? Just use wooly buggers in sizes 4-12
Don’t lie, you’ve had that vid in the hopper for while. Yeah, I hate winter too
Damn. Beat me to the Heero comment.
I wonder if he’ll see it.
Great vid! I was wondering if you could do a “how to teach people fly fishing” video?
I've been tying for a year. That really hit hard lol
So this is a small schwimnow By Norm Ziegler that got the lead eyes replaced with lead wire 🤔 and called a leach .
I have proof it also works IN Stillwater Oklahoma.
Easy tie to fly, no doubt. A little surprised at the lead wire in place of lead-free tho. No judgement, just a little surprised. Keep ‘em coming!
"no judgement" kekw

Bruh... Lead? You need to switch to lead-free yesterday.
🌮💵
Bro, WTF? Lead wire? Lead free man, lead free
