Double Teeny Leech
Nymph
Tied By Joe Glessner
Hook: Any Wet Fly Hook, Size #14-2 (Wholesale Fly Company Model 6 in size #10 as tied)
Thread: 8/0 Semperfli CWT, Brown
Materials- abdomen: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 8 fibers thorax: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 8 fibers beard: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 8 fibers
Notes:
The original version uses a single bunch of pheasant tail fibers folded along the bottom of the hook shank, creating a simple yet effective imitation of aquatic insects.
This “double” version, introduced in May 1963, uses two bunches of fibers-one tied mid-shank and another near the eye-for targeting larger fish like steelhead and salmon, but has also proven highly effective for trout (and even larger panfish).
