The Beaded Leech - Tying Video

28/4/2018

0 Comments

 
A few years ago I met a guide who got me into swinging a smaller weighted fly off a floating line for steelhead.  Using about a 12' leader off a Scandi head with a weighted fly offers you an effective way to swing your fly tight into the bank without having to worry about hooking up with the bottom.  It also works great on runs you may be swinging your fly into slower water, or if you're fishing shallow slots.
As usual there are always a number of flies that work well for this.  Below is a video for a 'Beaded Leech' which is one of my favourites for this technique.  Quick and simple to tie and effective on the river.  Enjoy.
