Quentin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey all, I'm looking for a good balanced leech pattern. I've balanced up a dozen hooks, but now I can't find a pattern that I like. I googled "balanced leech pattern" and came up with a few; one was from Phil Rowley's site, and it looks essentially like a sparse woolley bugger. I did see one picture I really liked, and that was of a balanced leech - damselfly nymph. But, it was only one picture, and no real instructions for tying. If you've got a pattern -- especially with some step-by-step, I'd really appreciate it if you'd share! QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry H Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Have a look at the FlyBC forum. There a number of threads dealing with balanced leeches and some good patterns have been posted. Here's one that I think looks deadly. http://forum.flybc.ca/index.php?showtopic=35761&hl=balanced+leech Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfisherman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Quentin, Greg here, are you taping/timeshifting Leroy Hyatt's "Angler's Art"? On February 4th Carolyn Sells tied a "balanced fly" on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfisherman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Quentin, Greg here, "the Angler's Art" program is on Saturday mornings on channel 22 at 7:30 AM. There's also a chance it's on one of the discs in the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
