Pine Squirrel Leech Streamer Flies – 12-Pack with Storage Cup – The Fly That Catches Fish When Nothing Else Works When trout are ignoring dry flies, bass are hiding in structure, and salmon are holding deep, experienced anglers reach for leech patterns. The pine squirrel leech is a proven fish-catcher that belongs in every fly box. This 12-pack gives you a full season's supply of one of fly fishing's most effective patterns, plus a black storage cup to keep them organized and protected. Why Pine Squirrel Hair? Pine squirrel zonker strips create the most realistic leech action in fly fishing. Unlike synthetic materials that look stiff and artificial, genuine pine squirrel hair undulates naturally in the water. Each individual fiber moves independently, creating a lifelike pulsing motion that triggers the predatory instinct in trout, bass, and salmon. Fish can't resist attacking what looks and moves like real prey. What's Included? 12 hand-tied pine squirrel leech flies in your selected size and color combination, plus a black storage cup. The durable cup protects your flies from crushing, keeps hooks from tangling, and fits easily in fly vests, chest packs, sling bags, wader pockets, or tackle boxes. Arrive at the water with flies ready to fish, not damaged in transit. What Fish Species Can I Catch? The pine squirrel leech consistently catches: rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, lake trout, steelhead, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, coho salmon, chinook salmon, Atlantic salmon, pike, panfish, and carp. Any predatory freshwater fish that eats leeches, baitfish, or crayfish will strike this fly. What Size Fly Should I Use? Size 8 (Large) – Best for bass, salmon, steelhead, lake trout, and aggressive brown trout. Use in stained water, deep pools, or when fish are keyed on larger prey. 12 flies in size 8. Size 10 (Medium) – The most versatile all-around size. Effective for trout, smallmouth bass, and salmon in most conditions. Start here if you're unsure. 12 flies in size 10. Size 12 (Small) – Ideal for pressured trout, clear water, spring creeks, and when fish are being selective. Matches smaller leeches and nymphs. 12 flies in size 12. Assorted 4X (8,10,12) – Get 4 of each size (12 total) to adapt to changing conditions throughout your fishing day. What Color Works Best? Brown – Natural leech coloration. Most effective in clear water and for trout that feed on actual leeches. 12 brown flies. Olive – Imitates sculpins, crayfish, and olive leeches. Deadly for bass and brown trout. 12 olive flies. Black – High contrast pattern that works in low light, murky water, dawn, dusk, and overcast days. 12 black flies. Purple – Attractor color that triggers reaction strikes. Excellent for aggressive fish and exploring new water. 12 purple flies. Assorted Colors – Get 3 of each color: Brown, Olive, Black, and Purple (12 total) to match any water condition or fish mood. How Do I Fish a Leech Pattern? The pine squirrel leech is one of the easiest flies to fish, making it perfect for beginners while remaining effective for experts: Strip Retrieve – Cast out, let sink, strip in 6-12 inch pulls. Vary speed until fish respond. Swing – Cast across current, let fly swing downstream while stripping slowly. Classic steelhead technique. Dead Drift – Fish like a nymph under an indicator. Effective for trout holding in runs and pools. Trolling – Trail behind a float tube, pontoon boat, or kayak in lakes and reservoirs. Quality You Can Trust Every pine squirrel leech is hand-tied and inspected before shipping. We use premium materials: genuine pine squirrel zonker strips, strong chemically-sharpened hooks, durable thread wraps, and secure head cement. These flies are built to catch multiple fish, not fall apart after one strike. With 12 flies per pack, you have plenty of backups for an entire season of fishing. Perfect for Gifts Looking for a fly fishing gift? This 12-pack with storage cup makes an excellent present for any angler. The included cup adds presentation value and practical storage.
