Dr. Bill has been using micro leeches for many years. His take on micro leeches is to get the right profile, size and colour and you will catch trout! I agree! Dr. Bill just uses fibres from marabou feather, some wire, a scud hook and a bead. The KISS Micro Leech entails: tie in a wire rib, tie in a tail of marabou and then wrap the marabou up the hook and finally wrap up the rib, done! Simplicity at its finest! It is a "Guide Fly"! Easy to tie and a fish catcher. As with any fly, once you dial in the depth you are going to get into the fish!
...There are times that I combine and blend marabou to get a variegated look, e.g. purple and black.
Gather your favourite colours of marabou, a box of size 14 curved pupa hooks and fill up a box with these simple yet so effective micro leeches.
Keep it Simple St---d! (KISS)-Ha!
