Fishing the Balanced Leech

One technique for fishing balanced leeches to control depth.

Good lord of fish! You got the magic!

[@terbofish5788]

The problem landing these fish is your rearview mirror...Objects often are closer than they look!

[@Souzawrites]

Good one - nearly spit my coffee. I originally thought the biking mirror was a brilliant idea for maneuvering backwards. Broke a set of sunglasses trying to pit it on, then realized it was not as brilliant as I thought and abandoned the idea altogether.

It really sucks that this video isn't 3 hours long

[@jimpankiewicz1427]

Great fish!

[@bigjustfishing8896]

what weight rod is that

[@Souzawrites]

Thayt was a 6 wt. Fish in this lake can go over 10 lbs.

[@ericstewart4732]

I could do that all day long. Beauties.

[@townieoutdoors8121]

Might you try a soft mesh net ? That allows the fish fall right into the well .

[@reedpaterson7294]

Super nice fish but hard to watch the netting. Try going head first and swoop up the fish next time

[@ValcoBayrunner]

I pinch my barbs on my flys and the hook falls out while in net. No need to handle so much removing slime. I take a photo while they are resting in the net. Get yourself a bigger floating Fabril steelhead net with a deeper basket, less than $40.

will they survive the net!

[@fullsink]

very awkward handling...nice fish

[@danielsaiz9644]

How about less of the “hero shot” and getting the fish back in the water!

[@johncrouch7834]

You need a real net. And a bit heavier rod apparently. Too much show before you let’’em go.

[@daviddufour921]

Nice fish but too much handling of the fish go barbless.
