Summer Moal Leeches, Custum Tied by Grabflies. 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. Summer Moal Leeches are smaller versions of the full size Moal Leech, one inch shorter. These are 2 1/4 inches long with a #4 hook. This smaller Moal is great for lower and more clear waters. They are also good for trout. Sea Run Cutthroat. Also see: Purple Flash Moal Leech - (Click Here) Summer Moal Leeches move spooky summer Steelhead in lower clear water. They also represent actual leeches at this size, and become a member of the food chain.

The Carey Special needs no introduction. Fish it as a general attractor streamer near weeds or use it as a Caddis Pupa pattern up in BC when fishing the traveling sedge hatch. This pattern is traditionally a lake anglers staple, representing many things from damsel and dragonfly nymphs, to leeches, minnows and large mayfly nymphs. In recent times it has become one of the most effective large soft hackle patterns for swinging in rivers, where trout absolutely slam it. Size: 6

Same as the Woolly Bugger but with an enticingly colored tungsten beadhead for added weight and attraction. Swing it, strip it - WORKS. The hot head bead can act as an egg-sucking leech imitation if there are fish spawning somewhere in the watershed. In low water conditions of summer and early fall fish can be somewhat skittish. That’s where this fly excels, as it can be fished in any water flow and clarity! Size: 12
