How to tie Mayer's Mini Leech | AvidMax Fly Tying Tuesday Tutorials

Blog-Post & Recipe: blog.avidmax.com/2020/01/21/h...
In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Mayers Mini Leech!
Created by Landon Mayer, (Colorado guide and royalty tyer for Umpqua Feather Merchants) the Mayers Mini Leech is a must-have pattern. This fly is a micro leech imitation that is a great attractor in certain color variations, while also being a super life like leech imitation in black or brown.
The version tied in this video is the original lightweight pattern. Umpqua now offers a Jig option for those fishing euro style or who maybe just prefer a weighted option. There isn't really a wrong way to fish this fly. Tie it on and give a big fish a chance to hammer it.

the funny thing is to go to all that trouble ribbing the tinsel for durability and then use ostrich for hackle. good video tho. i like pine zonkers.

Looks like a fishy fly but that tail must hang up a lot.

There is potential for that for sure. I do fish this a lot and it really isn't an issue. Thanks for watching!

A bigger problem is the short takes. So keep the squirrel zonker strip piece about an inch or so long. If it's too long and you get short takes, you can still cut it shorter on the stream. I've done it.
