Description

The combination of dubbing and v-rib already made this leech a killer lake pattern, so we decided to "one up" ourselves and design a balanced version.

Field Notes

A balanced leech pattern is designed to suspend and swim naturally in stillwater, making it effective for trout in lakes and ponds. Fish it under an indicator or on a slow retrieve near weed edges, drop-offs, and other depth changes where leeches and baitfish are present.

Pros

  • Balanced design helps the fly ride naturally in the water column
  • Strong leech profile for stillwater trout
  • Available in multiple natural colors

Cons

  • Specialized stillwater presentation may be less useful in fast current
  • Best results often require a balanced rig or indicator setup
