This series of leech flies is much like the Denny Rickards' Seal Buggers and Derrick Fergus Hale-Bopp Leeches. SLF (Synthetic Living Fiber) is basically fake harp seal fur. I looks like seal but is legal in the USA. SLF is finer than On-The-Take Dubbing used in the Hale-Bopp leeches, so smaller flies are more easily produced.

Black SLF Leech Patterned after the famous Seal Buggers developed in the Klamath Lake Basin of Southern Oregon, this leech pattern is intentionally dressed fairly heavy. If the water you are fishing is murky, fish this pattern the way it comes out of the box. If the water you are fishing is clear pick out some of the dubbing in the body to thin it down.

Brown SLF Leech We first used this fly in Davis Lake back in the days when it was loaded with big trout. Fished with an intermediate line, this lightweight fly will hover over the weed tops and enable you to retrieve it very slowly. This is also an effective pattern to use just after ice out.

Maroon SLF Leech The maroon leech can be deadly when the water is still very cold in the spring. A good method to try is to keep your boat 50-60 feet from the shore and cast your fly into the shallow edge water. Use a very slow sinking line so you can move the fly very slowly back to you.

Olive SLF Leech This light olive fly works best after a lake warms and the weeds and algae begins to grow. This is your classic inch-and-a-half-long-and-green lake fly which is often the best size and color for your most productive alkaline desert lakes.
