This week I decided to take on the "Stip-A-Bou" leech pattern as shown by Pat Cohen on his YouTube page. I tied this pattern in black and olive with a double weed guard.
Material List-
Gamakatsu B10S #2
Black Maribou
Olive Maribou
Danville 210 black
Yellow painted dumbbell eyes
White/black grizzly rubber legs
Black over olive zonker strips.
Weed guard is 50# mono
 |
| Attach dumbbell eyes as shown. This fly will ride hook point up. Double weed guard attached as well. |
 |
| Zonker strip, and black maribou started with rubber legs separating the two colors of maribou. |
 |
| Starting to look more like something. |
 |
| After tying in weed guards up front, leave some tip to melt down and press into the thread. This will prevent slipping. |
 |
| Last step is to trim the legs. I leave them attached to make finishing the fly easier. |
"Official" bath tub test.
