Virtual Fly Tying
I love fly fishing micro leeches. Over the course of the next several days I will be posting micro leeches. I will be posting several from other fly fishers. If you have a favourite micro leech, please send me a picture and description of your favourites!
I also like to tie micro leeches, balanced.
I fish them every day on lakes. After a chironomid hatch slows on your favourite waters, fish a micro leech, ...sort of dessert for a fish! Right after ice off, micro leeches can be very effective. They are great patterns in the fall as well! At times, I will fish a chironomid and micro leech at the same time. I have had several great days using this tactic!
