Description
The Bunny Leech by RIO is a dynamic streamer pattern made entirely of rabbit fur, known for its lifelike movement in the water. Whether imitating a swimming leech, a small baitfish, or even an aquatic worm, this fly is highly versatile and effective in both stillwater and river settings. The soft rabbit fur creates a pulsating action, enticing fish even in challenging conditions.
Pro Tip
Fish the Bunny Leech with a slow strip-and-pause retrieve to mimic the erratic swimming motion of a leech or wounded baitfish. In stillwater, allow the fly to sink fully before retrieving, as the rabbit fur will move enticingly even with minimal movement. In rivers, swing it through pools and tailouts, letting the current animate the fly for you.
