Holsinger's Fly Shop's video: Balanced Leech Holsinger s Fly Shop

The Balanced Leech is a staple among still-water fly fishermen. Meant to ride level in the water instead of up and down, it has a natural look to it as it is fished in still-water lakes and ponds. This pattern can also easily imitate a baitfish pattern just by changing the colors of the materials. I know i don't have many still-water patterns and i had a request for them a while back so I thought i would try to add some to my arsenal. I hope you like this style of pattern and find it useful. I'm very thankful for your requests because they challenge me to test my fly tying skills and learn new things. For me things get boring if I'm not learning and growing. I've been tying for 30+ years now and I'm always learning something new. Thanks for watching and if you are interested in any of the materials needed to tie this pattern I have all the materials (except the sewing pin) listed below with a link to the product on our website. Thanks again for watching and you continued support of my channel. -Shawn Materials List: Firehole 523 Size 10 https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/Firehole-523-Sz10-36Pk/p/132245396 Firehole 3.5mm Tungsten Bead https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/Firehole-Tungsten-Beads-Gold-3-5mm/p/122879124 140 Denier Pink Thread https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/140-Denier-Ultra-Thread-Fl-Pink/p/89858723 Brown Marabou https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/Strung-Marabou-Brown/p/85530681 Krystal Flash Gold https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/Krystal-Flash-Gold/p/85530289 Dubbing Blends, Nearnuff Sculpin Golden Brown https://www.holsingersflyshop.com/shop.html #!/SLF-D-Whitlock-Dubbing-Sculpin-Golden-Brown/p/131656356/category=33666397
