BH Vanilla Leech
The BH Vanilla Leech is a highly versatile attractor and streamer pattern tied with exclusive vanilla dubbing and finished with a black bead for added weight and sink rate. Its buggy appearance, subtle coloration, and lifelike movement make it an effective choice for trout and other predatory fish in a wide range of water conditions.
Whether fished in lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, or stillwater fisheries, the BH Vanilla Leech consistently produces results. The black bead helps the fly reach productive depths quickly, while the flowing materials create a natural swimming action that fish find difficult to resist.
Equally effective as a streamer, attractor pattern, or searching fly, the BH Vanilla Leech can be stripped, swung, dead drifted, or trolled.

Victoria Slater –
Fished in a cold mountain stream and caught two trout within 20 minutes. The movement was natural and the fly stayed deep. Great for stillwater too.
Matt Peake –
Used it in a reservoir during early spring. It worked well when dead drifted. A little less visible in murky water, but still effective.
Christopher Stewart –
Perfect for both dry and wet conditions. The black bead keeps it down, and the vanilla dubbing looks realistic. Caught a large brown trout on a swing.
Anna Ferguson –
Good performance in a slow-moving river. Works well when stripped or trolled. Slightly less effective in very clear water.
Julia Dowd –
Tied it with a different hook size and it worked great in a lake. The natural movement drew fish in consistently. Would buy again.
