The Mini Articulated Jig Leech is a pattern I have had a lot of success fishing this past year. I originally tied it to be fished as the point fly on a euro rig in hopes to get down quickly and turn heads of larger fish on freestone rivers here in Colorado. It has since proven deadly in many situations from finicky tailwater fish to under an indicator off the boat. The new 15mm Micro Jig Shank from Spawn is perfect for adding that extra bit of movement to your trout patterns.
