Evan Ritchie reminded me that sometimes, downsizing one of our regular sized go to balanced leeches can pay big dividends!
Phil Rowley came up with the Balanced Bruised Leech. It is one of my favourites. I saw an episode of the New Fly Fisher that Phil filmed at Henry's Lake in Idaho. Phil was using two balanced leeches at a time. A small bruised leech on a tag caught lots of beautiful cutthroat, brookies and hybids.
