Great looking leeches! Have fun on your trip - you might want to see about higher elevation lakes. Regardless, enjoy! (I love the red bead.)
Thanks Buzzy! Not likely to have time for a long excursion, just something nearby town.

Obviously, you creates the parasol post first, tie onto the hook shank and then finish tying the fly.

See YouTube for various videos.

You can use your favorite nymph or emerger fly under the parasol.
