Jigged Leather Leech – Olive
The Jigged LL is an incredibly versatile leech pattern that is designed to sink fast, ride hook up and most importantly look like a leech.
The Leech Leather is the difference maker and does a fantastic job of imitating a real leech whether the fly is moving fast or painfully slow.
The JLL can be fished anyway you’d like (under an indicator, tight lined, Euro, jigged), in any condition, moving water or stillwater, and for a variety of species.
This fly will cover it all!

This fly looks and moves like a real leech. I’ve used it in both stillwater and moving water and it’s caught several trout. The olive color blends well with the surroundings and the leather texture is very realistic.
Harry Lawrence –
Great for jigging and tight lining. The fly sinks fast and stays on the hook. I’ve seen it catch bass and trout in different conditions. Highly recommend for any fly fisher.
Carl Davies –
Very convincing imitation. Works well in slow-moving streams. A bit stiff when first tied, but settles in after a few casts. Good value for the performance.
Charles Ball –
Used this in a stillwater pond and caught a large trout. The leather detail makes it stand out and the movement is natural. Perfect for imitating a real leech.

Fished it under an indicator and it worked well. The olive shade matches the water well. A bit heavy for some situations, but overall effective.
