Description
The Mini Leech is a modern twist on the traditional leech patterns, designed to imitate the smaller stages of leeches found in many freshwater ecosystems. The Mini Leech excels in finesse situations, making it a go-to option for targeting highly selective fish, particularly in clear and slow-moving waters. When presented with a delicate cast and a natural drift.
Pro Tip
Fish the Mini Leech with a slow retrieve in stillwater, allowing the marabou to pulse naturally in the water. In rivers, drift it near the bottom or swing it through slower runs where fish hold. For added versatility, use it as a dropper fly below a dry or larger streamer to target both surface and subsurface feeders. Experiment with colors like black, olive, and purple to match local conditions.
