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.
