Baby or micro leeches are a must-have stillwater pattern, especially in early spring or late fall. Over the past few seasons, I have been experimenting with smaller jig hooks and slotted beads as a foundation. My experiments have been working very well.

You can tie this version in a variety of color combinations. For me, a bruised color scheme featuring Black/Blue Arizona Simi Seal is a color I am never without. If you check out my Fall Finale Vlog (   • Fall Finale-Phil Rowley Fly Fishing  ) you can see this pattern in action.
