Mini Leech 01/13/2026 Photo Album

I always categorize my flies, when I create these posts, and I always hesitate whether to place the mini leech under nymph or streamer. I chose streamer this time, but in reality, it is probably a hybrid.

Black No Bead

My experieince with the mini leech extends over a few years, but you can read my last post on 01/14/2025 for a bit more information. This is another fly that has potential, but I fail to give it adequate line time. I have landed some trout on the mini leech during my lake fishing expeditions, so I need to make a concerted effort to tie one on more frequently. The olive mini leech can represent a damsel nymph, so tossing the green version should be considered during damsel fly season.

Olive No Bead

I counted my leeches and decided to tie two blacks with beads, two blacks with no bead, and two olive with no bead. This brings my inventory to ten of each. I am ready for leech fishing in 2026.
