Two Toned Flash Moal Leech - Flashabou and rabbit wrapped around a string go together. Moal Leeches have great movement in the water. They wiggle and undulate, which moves the flashabou in wave like motion reflecting colorful light waves as the fly swings across the river. Two Toned (color) Flash Moals have two different colors of flashabou tied in. The tail color is tied in after half the fly is wrapped with rabbit. The head flashabou is tied with a length of 2/3's the fly length. This works much better that two colors of flashabou tied in together at the cone.

The Moal Leech catches Steelhead in all conditions. Add it to your fly box. You will never look back.

"I wanted to thank you for your fast service and a great product.  I have
been fly fishing for over forty years and have caught hundreds of trout and
salmon and even a few bonefish but I had never caught a steelhead on a fly
before last weekend.  With my fifth cast of your black and purple MOAL into
a nice Clackamas riffle I hooked and landed a small hatchery summer hen.  I
attached a picture although it doesn't show the fly too well (my hands were
still shaking)." - Paul Boucher

Mega Moal Leech for Winter Steelhead (Go Big!)

Tied just like the Moal Leech, but bigger (5 - 6 inches). These big mega moal leeches will move winter steelhead. Fish these flies on the swing, and winter steelhead will move for them.

Big Black Mega Moal has been my favorite this winter.

Because of their size and bulk and usually used with heavy sink tips. These flies are more difficult to cast, but a Perry Poke Spey Cast will get the job done.

"This is the only fly box I use now. In the summer I will put several skating or muddler type flies into one tube. For big steelhead flies it a must have item. I have tried so many different fly boxes, but it was always the bulk that gets in the way of Spey casting, or closing the lid down and munching the flash of marabou that gave birth to this simple fly storage solution." - Jeff Layton

BigMoal MT Leech - Mega Moal Leech with Marabou tail like a woolly bugger.

NEW - now with articulated tail

This hybrid Mega Moal Leech has become the new "go to" winter fly. Just like the Mega Moal this fly moves tough winter Steelhead. The BigMoal MT which is custom tied by Grabflies.com has caught Steelhead for Grabflies this winter after already fishing the run with a Mega Moal. The different accents and tail action seem to make that subtle difference.

This fly also has becomes popular for Pike, Muslie, and Sea-run Browns

The advantages of the BigMoal MT are:

• Tail Wiggles and Fly Snakes through the water
• TheBigMoal MT measures 6 - 6.5 inches long, but only 5 inches of rabbit fur, 1.5 inches of Marabou.
• Trailing hook with the added Marabou tied directly on hook gets fouled less when making long Spey casts.
• Fly is custom ordered and you can custom designed your fly to get that perfect color combination for your river.

Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well because of the smaller offset trailer hook.

Select - Add different color Marabou tails
Select - Add different color flash to Marabou tails

Size 2 trailing Owner hook - 2.5" - 3" long (custom flies tied with bead heads)

This pattern came from Grabflies "King Intruder Leech, Red" but I have only fished it for Winter Steelhead. In off color rivers like the Hoh river on the Olympic Peninsula. My first try with this fly I caught two Steelhead and no other flies were producing any results. I used a four inch King Intruder Leech, Pink on the Hoh, but clearer water rivers I use the three inch size.
