With only a few materials used in this fly, feel free to add whatever you need to make this fly work for you. Round rubber legs are always a good idea to add to flies for some movement in the water. For a fly that pushes a bit more water, try making another dubbing loop for the collar for a big bushy head.
This is a great small leech pattern that is deadly for trout and steelhead on the swing in low water conditions. This fly is not very intrusive, with no heavy parts to make large splashes to spook fish. This fly can also be deadly fished like a normal streamer by just stripping it in.
This fly can be fished on the swing with a two-hander, switch, or single hand spey rod all the same. Fish it by casting across at a 45 degree angle down stream and let the line take the fly across the river. If fishing across multiple currents, give the line a large upstream mend to ensure it stays in the zone. If fishing this like a standard streamer, slow the strip down in colder water to get lethargic fish to come off the bottom, and as the water warms, fish it faster to trigger them to chase.
