Tying with Hans- Tungsten Squirrel Hair Leech
April 17, 2010 - 6:12 pm
On the small streams I frequent, it is hard to fish streamers. It doesn’t seem like an obviously fly choice. However, once you start using them and catching fish they become a staple in your box. Rabbit Hair leeches and squirrel hair leeches work great. On smaller water I find myself fishing them more and more. I cast across, let them sink, swing, and then “jig” them back upstream. Tie some and you will be happy they did.
Happy Tying

Fishing notes: This fly is a tank! Very heavy. Kim fishes the spring creeks more than anyone else I know and he seems to have them dialed. He uses this fly as his point and many times can avoid using split shot all together. This is the perfect fly for a shallow riffle into a deep pool. It gets down to the fishes level ASAP. A must for the upcoming trout season. Sign up at www.tightlinesflyshop.com to get the free fly of the month.
