Name for leech?
I have made an incredibly successful leech pattern made of marabou and dubbing that beats a wooly bugger in leech imitation.(if worked correctly)
I need a good or funny name for this fly. But to give you more info about it, heres a typed set of directions for it, as my camera stinks at fly pictures.
Hook:Any size
Lead covering:dubbing(black)
Body:Marabou(black)
Thread:black (or matching color)
1.)To start it, put lead on the top of the hook and secure with thread.
2.)Bring the thread behind the eyelet, and tie in a small patch of marabou, about 2x as long as the hook.
3.)Then start your dubbing, and cover the lead.
4.)Just like a wooly bugger, tie on some marabou the length of the hook at the end of the hook.
Now to see how well it looks like a leech, dip it in a cup of water. But jog it a bit, as it doesn't absorb water immediately.
So any ideas for a name?
