-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eddie D Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 6:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VFB] Bass Leech Steve, The way I tie my bass leaches is as follows. I hope this helps! Hook: Size 4-10 Thread: Black Wieght: Either .25 lead wire or bead chain eyes Tail: Black Marabou Flash: Red Krystal Flash(or black, purple, or whatever looks good) Body: Same Marabou used in tail, wound up the shank like a palmered hackle. Or you can use black chenille/black hackle palmered, or even Leech Chenille Steps: Place hook in vice, apply thread, tie in tape to hook and wrap towards eye, cover with thread (Or attach bead chain eyes with a series of figure 8 wraps) Tie in tail securly, add 2-4 pieces of flash on each side Take Tag end of marabou(or tie in a new piece if big hook) and wrap up to the eye like chenille or hackle, covering the entire hook. Tie Off and finish. I fish them with a short jerking motion with pauses in between and have sucsess with them. A purple/black or red/black blend of very lose dubbing or leech chenille also works good. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this is what you are looking for. Good Luck steve! -Eddie Dillon Tidewater Fly Co. __________________________________________________ _______________ Learn how to choose, serve, and enjoy wine at Wine @ MSN. http://wine.msn.com/
