Mini Leech 01/14/2025 Photo Album
My post of 01/08/2023 provides additional useful information about the mini leech. This fly is another that I should grab more often, particularly when I attack stillwaters during the peak runoff time frame. The undulating action of the pine squirrel wing seems way too tantalizing for trout to ignore.
Beadless Mini LeechBecause I chose this fly infrequently, I suffered little in the way of losses. When I counted my supply of black with and without a bead and olive without a bead, I determined that I possessed adequate quantities of all types. I tied two more blacks with no bead. The olive can serve as a reasonable representation of a damsel fly nymph, and I need to keep that in mind as well during June lake fishing ventures.
