Fishing lakes and ponds? Give this fly a try.
The second featured fly of our fourth fly swap, which was sponsored by Tim at Yagers Flys is from Tim Stewart.
The Mohair Leech, which is very simple to tie, is also very effective on lakes and streams according to Tim. "Cast the fly out and let it sink. Slowly bring to the surface, or raise your rod and then relet it sink back down and repeat. I have cought fish with hardly any mohair left on the hook. The fly does not have to be pretty to catch fish. I find that I catch so many fish with this fly it is almost too easy."
Pattern:
Hook: Wet fly hook sizes 8-12
Thread: Black
Body: Dark Burgandy Mohair
Tail: Mohair Yarn
Tim's Notes:
Tie this fly sparce. Tie in small bits of the Mohair yarn that you pull apart. Whip finish the head.
Last Year On All-About Flyfishing:
Heidi Land - Montana/Wyoming
Visions of flowering mountain meadows and crystal clear mountain streams with some great flyfishing mixed in. Doc Knoll recommends a visit to this area at least once in your life!
Two Years Ago On All-About Flyfishing:
Consider A Custom Fishing Rod
There are a lot of reasons why a custom rod should be considered by serious anglers. Build it yourself or have a pro do it for you.
