Mayers Mini Leech
Created by Landon Mayer, (Colorado guide and royalty tyer for Umpqua Feather Merchants) the Mayers Mini Leech is a must-have pattern. This fly is a micro leech imitation that is a great attractor in certain color variations, while also being a super life like leech imitation in black or brown.
The version tied in this video is the original lightweight pattern. Umpqua now offers a Jig option for those fishing euro style or who maybe just prefer a weighted option. There isn’t really a wrong way to fish this fly. Tie it on and give a big fish a chance to hammer it.
