This special Alpaca-tied leech fly is to be fished slowly. The slow pull causes the ALPACA FIBER tail to straighten behind the fly. This separating pause permits the leech to sink slowly, letting the ALPACA tail to trail upward. Thus, the slow pull-and-pause of the ALPACA FIBER FLAWLESSLY duplicates the slowly oscillating, monotonous progress of the leech. A good time of day to use this type of fly is in the early morning or just before sun set.
I am a product designer professionally and co-owner of Turkey Creek Alpacas, LLC. I studied art at the Indiana University and, over the last 30+ years have produced artwork in the mediums of pastels, water colors, and oils. I became interested in tying my own flies after our first alpaca shearing in 2002. I developed my own leech fly pattern because it fit the character of the alpaca fiber. This fly was also a good fit for my fishing needs. I fish for Salmon, Walleye, and Bass; the Leech Fly works well for them all. I think most of the species of fish are drawn in by a leach.
This Blog is just a little bit about "Art and Fishing" The two blend well.

a good photograph of the leech you tie would be a big improvement to your site.
