About the fly:  We fish the Loop leech for both summer
and winter fish.  In the summer, when the sun gets
high in the sky, we fish a leech on a heavy sink-tip and
catch fish all day long.  In the winter, we fish it on a
sink-tip when the water is clear or slightly off color..
we tie them from3'' to 5" long.
Most of the time, bigger is better!  You can tie them in
any color combo, pictured is a few of our favorites.

Rigging:  Thread the tube on to 10 lb. Maxima Ultra
Green.  Tie a Saltwater loop knot long enough to reach
just shy of the end of the rabbit strip.  Double loop a Size
6,4, or 2 Gamakatsu Octopus hook onto the end of the
mono loop.  Gently pull the loop knot into the tube
making certain the hook is pointing down.  If you rigged it
properly, the hook should be at the tip of the rabbit strip.
