ZL-- I didn't think it was your real name...but that leech trick sounds like a good one. I'll try it next time I'm out on a lake. I use leeches quite a bit as a search fly. The only question I have is whether you're tying them with a bead head or weight toward the head. I could see that fly making a nose dive toward the bottom on slack line. That action could be a real trigger.

I guess I have two questions: what size leeches and wooly buggers are you using on west side lakes? I was awfully fond of a 2-3xl or a 4 when I fished in the Spokane area.
