The Leeches of Dawn

[Tom Butler]

Got out before class and grandkids.

Toys. Sink tip and type 6. Mike did well on his balanced leech under a float, so more than one way to go about it.

Started with yesterdays leeches

These worked well.

As the sun rose...

I changed over to a 3 fly cast on the type 6 with the green leech on point, olive willy up front.

Great way to start the day.

Is that last pic three trout on three flies at the same time?!

Yeah, Tom limits out in two casts. That's how he fits it all in; he's very efficient.

Yep, triple. Counted down, took a strip and the fish were on! Thought it was another holdover at first.

Great name for a scy-fi flick…

I’ve quintupled a few times while casting a Sabiki rig with a fly rod, but never have I tripled for trout. Nice work!

I’ve never used a sabiki rig on a fly rod…what were you fishing for? In Hawaii, we would use sabiki rigs on spinning rods to catch opelu & akule (mackerel & big eye scad) for bait…and to eat.

Lots of things. Herring, pile perch, Sargent majors, any thing that schools up and eats little shrimp and stuff.

Here is a sketch. I'll start w/ knot tag ends, and after 2-3 fly changes tie on a new dropper. I use loop knots to attach the flies.
