The Mini Leech Jib - Landon Mayer's Signature Fly Pattern

Mini Leech Jig

The Mini Leech Jig is my go-to anchor fly for nymphs, dry droppers, or as a solo drifting streamer imitation. Tied on an Umpqua jig hook with a tungsten bead, the micro pine squirrel matched with the ostrich jerk collar provides enough buoyancy that it suspends balanced without the need of an extended pin and bead. Produced in sizes #12,14,16 and colors sculpin olive, rust, or black, this is one jig fly you don’t want to miss out on for all moving and still waters!
