Tie a Simple Leech Pattern Like a Pro | The Chester Leech

Ойын-сауық

My Chester Leech took its maiden swim in the waters of Argentina's Lago Strobel, better known to most as Jurassic Lake. This blend of Simi Seal dubbing and natural squirrel tail has proven itself on a number of occasions since. The use of a tungsten Head Turner bead allows you to fish this pattern using traditional cast and retrieve techniques. If you attach the Chester Leech to your tippet using a clinch or improved clinch knot, this pattern will hang horizontally under a strike indicator.
It is a tying style many other tyers have incorporated with their patterns. One, I highly recommend you consider adding to the leech section of your fly box.

    Phil, someday a tour of your tying room would’ve be interesting. I’m always looking for better ways to organize and store materials. Great video as well.

    I’ve used variations of this pattern with ridiculous success all over lakes in MT/WY. Marabou or pine squirrel tails, and Arizona semi-seal or Diamond Dub for bodies. Excellent point fly for deep intermediate lake line/midge tip presentations as well

    It is a great pattern based on other variations that combine squirrel tails and dubbed bodies. Fun to tie and to fish. Cheers, Phil

    Hey Sir, do these leech flies work in the winter months?

    Great question. You can use leech patterns such as balanced leeches at any time of the season or year. Many times a balanced leech such as this is the first pattern I try to start the day. Cheers, Phil.

    Hi Phil, I tried to replicate this pattern but for the life of me I cant seem to get any 1/8 head turner past the hook bend of a size 10 Daiichi 4647...Do you have any tips? Thank you!

    Hi, I use the Tungsten Head Turners from Canadian Llama (See the link in the video description). I have never had an issue get them on either the 4647 or 4640 jig hooks. Make sure you debarb the hook first. I use 7/64” on #12’s and 1/8” on #10’s. Cheers, Phil.

    What fish like this in northeast US? And you don’t like dubbing wax because? Thanks. Beautiful fly

    Hi Robert, Thanks for taking the time to comment on my video. You could use this fly for any fish that eats leeches such as trout, bass and panfish. As for dubbing wax, I like to use thread pressure to hold the dubbing in place. I am also concerned that the dubbing wax will matte and trap the long strand dubbing defeating the translucent effect we are trying to replicate. Cheers, Phil.
