Leeches are one of THE BEST live bait options for spring walleye. With the price of leeches at $5/dozen, trapping your own is a great option to save some money and up your chances at catching those finicky walleye! Enjoy the video!
I usually try to find a pond with deep water nearby or else it gets too warm and full of algae. This one has an old dugout near it. After that its basically a guessing game!
I remember as a kid i had a leach i brought home on me somehow got it off salted it maybe my mom and i put it in a bottle. The next day there where like 1000 leeches…. Tiny freaked me out lasting memory i was like 5 maybe 6. Nature is timeless. Anyone breed these ?
Keep them refrigerated and use rainwater. Change the water every day or 2 for the first week ish and then after that usually change it every 4 or 5 days. Pull out any dead ones or it’ll start to smell as well!
