I like fishing leeches in the spring just after ice comes off the lakes and ponds. I like to use this as a casting pattern or a trolling fly, but it also works well when dead drifted under a strike indicator on a windy day.

Looks absolutely disgusting when wet which is a real compliment, since that is exactly how I view these critters when wet wading in shorts. The ostrich is a neat idea, since it will avoid the usual marabou wrap around the hook problem on leeches. I’ll bet you could also use peacock herls on the body to give a bit of a sheen.

@PiscatorFlies 3 года назад

Thanks a million, FlyTyer1948. I agree, peacock herl would look great with the marabou. Cheers

I never understand why people show a wet fly in the air. It's just not how the fly will look in the water.

@stephencifka4629 5 лет назад

Dandy, fishable fly, excellent use of materials, and clearly explained. Thanks!

@PiscatorFlies 5 лет назад

Stephen Cifka, thanks! Much appreciated. Cheers

I have a question. Why put on the ostrich herl? OK, but almost anything works. I just use any kind of black-ish chenille or heavy thread. Flash ok, but not necessary. A few feathers of red maribou does the same thing--calls attention to a 'flaming personality type of leech"--but not necessary. Mainly, just make a good base of thread and start adding black maribou and it will look like a leech. I caught over a dozen trout on one of these just this morning. The fish were eating some sort of diving beetle, a dragonfly nymphs, lots and lots of scuds, a few leeches, and some chrionomids. Not very particular. They wanted the leech moving slowly in three inch twitches.

Is there a lead free version? Thank you for the tips and ideas

@PiscatorFlies 2 года назад

Yes, you can use the lead-free weighted wire in place of the lead wire. You could also use 3-4 black brass beads, one at each stage should work fine. Cheers

Excellent. Par too the folly bugger family. :-) Ilm making some for a stream that is pertly suited for them. :-)

@PiscatorFlies 4 года назад

Thanks TERRYBIGGENDEN , the trout can really hit these hard. Best of luck out on the water.

@georgemelville7992 6 лет назад

HI, I fish a lot of stillwaters and hilltop lochs all over Scotland, and this pattern will work great, thanks for all your hard work, keep the videos rolling. Geo

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Thanks for the comment Geo. I'd love to be able to fish these in the lochs, I know they would work well over there. Cheers

Hey Steve, I hope you do get a chance. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Cheers

@Pete.108 6 лет назад

Nice one Pal and was wondering if that pattern would work in Scotland on or still waters, lovely fly trying skills and great video all the best Peter.

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Hi Peter thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. I'm sure this will work over in Scotland. I fish this leech mostly on stillwaters from a pontoon boat or a float tube. cheers

@shift_enter5671 2 года назад

how’d it do??

@flytyerstreaming3791 6 лет назад

Nice fly Darren, that would work great for large mouth bass in the lakes and rivers near me.

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Thanks Larry. I hadn't considered using for Bass, but hey, I'm gonna now.

@aaronmiller6118 5 лет назад

I had my doubts about the quality of this video until I saw that it was By this channel.

@PiscatorFlies 5 лет назад

Aaron, thanks, I hope that means that you liked the video. Cheers and all the best in 2019.

@FryFlier 3 года назад

Thanks Darren, I believe I missed the draw....lol...It is not the draw I wanted it is the technique.

@emmanuelforgione2314 7 месяцев назад

I’ve been looking for this kind of leech, will try to tie some. Thanks.

@aaron82435 3 года назад

Great explanation and video. going to tie some of these for the winter lake stocks near me!

@PiscatorFlies 3 года назад

They are like candy for stockers. Good luck

@clueless777_2 Год назад

Just went out using this pattern and snapped off a massive rainbow, works well👍

@edscully8531 4 года назад

Nice! I'm thinking of a specific pond to use this in. Thanks

@PiscatorFlies 4 года назад

Thanks for stopping in, Ed, I hope that works out for you. Cheers and Keep a hook in your vise!

Nice Darren and thanks for the flies!

@PiscatorFlies 2 года назад

Thanks Michael! Tight lines

@skrymr978 6 лет назад

Nice! Wouldn't take much to turn it into a neat little minnow pattern, either

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. Yes, a little bit of grey dun white and red might be a good color.

@MikeBlezien 6 лет назад

nice leech pattern will work out great in my local waters

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Let me know if you try it out.

@TheCanary24 2 года назад

Seems a good pattern!I'll give shot!

@joeduca8582 6 лет назад

Chimo Darren, past 1400 subs, coolness! Nice leech, I like the ostrich body. Too bad about Lefty Kreh passing. Glad that interview was filmed last year at the Tie One On. Thanks and cheers...

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

Chimo Joe. Thanks, I really liked it as well. Then I got it wet and loved it. Yes, sad news about Lefty. There are a few great interviews here on RU-vid with him. Check out Back Bay ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pdg8aqz-Lnw.html I think you'll enjoy. It's nice to have these little gems to reflect on.

@joeduca8582 6 лет назад

Piscator Flies thanks for the link👌. I saw an Orvis video on those 🐉 dragon tails "add on" material. Very sinuous, would make a nice leech but they're pretty long. Pike /bass size. You up on that material? The 2018 Tie One On is this Saturday. I'm planning on going. Clouser, Cohen, will be there. Cheers...

@PiscatorFlies 6 лет назад

I've been seeing them make the rounds, but I haven't had a chance to see them in person. They are nice and big, I'd probably give them a try for pike and bass. Perhaps even the gar in Lake Ontario would give them a look.

@joeduca8582 6 лет назад

Piscator Flies LOL! Throwing a fly into Back Bay in the 50's was like rolling a wine bottle into a jail cell, you knew something was going to grab it! I love that guy! I have a red revolving spool reel and a rod like they showed in that clip. Thanks man, I'm subscribed to Flymen too but I must have missed that. Amazing how the times have changed. Thanks again!
