Those are exactly how I tie them. I make some bigger ones on #4-#2 hooks with rabbit zonker, and they’re my favorite flies for largemouth bass. Thanks for all you share James! Have a great week. 👍👌🎣
@@articchar-lf Good question! I always use rabbit on my bigger flies. I really like rabbit better than squirrel, I like the longer hair, I think it has a little more motion in the water. 👍
If you run the hook point thru the hide to create the tail, the strip lies down nicely. Both ways work and put fish in the net. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
I first stumbled on pine squirrel strips about 20 years ago. I use crosscut squirrel for the body - creates a little trimmer leech pattern.
I have been using a leech on my euro rig for 4 years. Leech has never let me down. I tie even an easier one. Nice work
Thanks!

Thanks for watching! One of the easiest and most effective flies out there for a broad range of species.
Question, is there a reason why you prefer squirrel to rabbit?

@@charlieboutin3341 thanks Charlie. I assume squirrel will hold a little less water with a little less motion. Gonna have to try it anyway.
@@articchar-lf You bet! It’s good material. Fish it with confidence! 🙂🎣
Love the simplicity and two tie options in one video.
Thanks brotha
Hey James!! This just came up on my feed, I enjoy your content so much thanks 👍😉
Thanks for the support!
Awesome. You are a man of your word. Great seeing you on the water last weekend. Keep up the great videos. I always learn something.
Pleasure meeting you! It was between this and a cooler review haha.
Love your channel. Proud of you bro! Keep killing it
Thanks brotha!
Nice flies! Just over here in the PNW smashing searun cuts with my pine squirrel dryfly streamer covered in an ounce of floatant.
Next level 🤯

Thanks for watching!
this fly works everywhere!!!!!
Thanks for doing this video!!!
Thanks James
Thanks for watching!
It's always leach season. Match the hatch everytime!
Leech Season is like the Never Ending Story. It simply doesn’t end.
This asmr is soothing
Thanks King 👑
I laughed, I cried then I tied a fly. Can you say "this makes the fly really durable" like 10 times in your next video? 😁👍
🐿 top notch info
Thanks see you soon!
Nice 😊
Whoa! 2 for 1 tying video. If the marabou leech and the pine squirrel leech were to get in a fight, which one would win?
Egg fly
@@AboutTrout Sneak attack from the back. I like it.
Would it work to do body wire wraps to help weight it down? I try to avoid using split shot, especially when tightlining.
I would just use a tungsten bead. Lead wraps or even just wire don’t really add much weight.
Live your truth 👌🏼🙏🏼

...Are you from Colorado?
I think I can smell the dooby you dunked right before this vid =D lol
Great fly tying instruction but Ben's pine squirrel leech video was better ;)
Can’t argue with that. Ben’s pine squirrel video is the greatest thing video on RUclips.
Nano silk is the best
My favorite thread
In the words of Mork, “Nano. Nano.”
Hope you get this reference. I’m old. 😂
Thanks for checking it out! Lol
@@AboutTrout I tied some up! I love your tying videos. You keep it simple! 👍🏼
Shut up and take my money. Oh wait this was free. Thanks!
😂
That’s a rhyme
I've tied Flys like this and I think it's not a effective pattern at all ok...........
Have you tried fishing it better?
No dont buy pine skins they are hard to find, save them for me :) #alwaysleechseason!
Always leech szn brah
What a sloppy tier
