@jaredoconnor are you planning on fishing lakes a cerain way? Meaning, do you want to troll, or do you want to throw chironomids, or do you want to cast and retrieve? Might help people suggest patterns that fit what you want to do.
I don't even really know what the ways are, let alone have preferences or plans.
@jaredoconnor Jig leeches work great.
If you want to test some of these, send me your address and I’ll mail you a few to try-

Thanks man. That is very generous. Tying the flies is half of the fun for me though! Would you be willing to share your recipe?
