More Leech Thoughts
The Down and Dirty Leech design, which can also be modified into minnows, sculpins, steelhead and salmon designs, tarpon flies, bass lures, and so on, has many variations in the way in which materials can be applied to the hook. One way is a layering technique that divides the fly into distinct layers of color, one immediately following the other. Another technique blends the colors so that they are fully mixed on the hook. Both of these are extremely useful in designing the appropriate imitations for the needs at hand. I’ve posted two new pages, the “Down and Dirty Leech—Layered,” and the “Down and Dirty Leech—Blended.” Have a look.
