Easy Simi Seal Leech from Fly Fish Food

[@redshaftedflicker]

You rocked the tying instruction on this one, thanks!

[@EscalanteFlyFlipper]

Handy tail tip: Tie the short piece in first. Then fold the long piece over the top and back as the tail. Fewer tangles. With a marabou tail tie in extra and pinch off an extra piece underneath. Try it. It works and fewer tail tangles after a few fish. All the best.

Great suggestion!

Started tying about 5 weeks ago, and this seems like an easy pattern for me to master. Just ordered the materials for this from you guys can't wait! Have a bunch of nice sized ponds/lakes near me (Long Island, NY) chock full of Small /Large Mouth Bass, Carp, Pickerel, Blue Gill & Crappies, what color combos do you think would work best?

[@src4526]

black, burnt orange and olive are good pond colors. learn how to tie a beadhead marabou mini leech too. it takes longer to say than to tie.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

how is the tying and fishing going?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

📞? 😂

[@fillmorecorpus9102]

When do you use the mega simi seal? Additionally, do you ever use it with a dubbing loop?

[@FlyFishFood]

Mega is great for bigger/longer flies. It can be great in dubbing loops if you need a thicker profile.

@@FlyFishFood Thank you.

[@brilintube]

Have you ever thought of using the Simi Seal material to tie a Balanced Leech?

[@FlyFishFood]

We do all the time. Very effective.

[@CircleTBound]

So it's damn near the trailor for the Cheech leech? It seems like a good one to dead drift for picky smallies!

Wait until you see the BBBB... video coming soon.

[@CircleTBound]

Clark Pierce Hell yeah! Looking forward to it

[@Grouse2275]

Excellent pattern, great instructions....... too much tool noise though, messes with so many great fly tying videos.......

[@FlyFishFood]

Thanks for the comments... Unfortunately, tool noise is probably just going to be part of these videos.

[@Sbassmaster7]

You still went clockwise (;

[@Cheechfisher0311]

Wrapped my thread clockwise. spun the dubbing on the thread counter-clockwise.
