I fish these a lot…View attachment 37751
Simiseal leeches with the bead mid-shank.
I forgot I had these flies in my box - in early June of this year three of us were anchored up on the edge of a shoal fishing the drop with assorted flies - it was really slow. I looked through my boxes (too many boxes, really) and saw this Canadian brown simiseal leech with a red bead in the middle. I picked it out, knotted it onto my I-line and made a cast opposite the dropoff and hooked a big trout in skinny shoal water. It wasn't a fluke as I hooked several more big trout with the fly. My buddy, Herb, hadn't been catching many fish so I clipped the fly off and had him tie it onto his I-line rigged rod. Fish on! Two great fish almost back to back. Maybe I should call this fly The Forgotten?I fish these a lot…
I like tying a 16 soft hackle to the bend…it is my go to rig lately…I forgot I had these flies in my box - in early June of this year three of us were anchored up on the edge of a shoal fishing the drop with assorted flies - it was really slow.
