I saw at the sports show in February some interesting little bunny leech flies tied on jig hooks with lead dumbell eyes as the weight. Then I saw the same style fly in one of the film presentations in one of the theaters, and the fly had an incredibly wild, or seductive, action, take your pick. Anyway, I bought some #4 jig hooks and two sizes of nickle-plated dumbell eyes and began by tying the lead eyes on the hooks. I haven't tied the fur strips on yet, but need to do so for an upcoming trip.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried this style of fly, (or is it a jig?) and what do you think of it? I'm decidedly not partial to casting weighted flies, but I thought these streamers, balanced the way they are on the jig hooks, might be worth trying.

Sincerely,
