Dubbing: Black Senyo Laser Dubbing
Heading up to a lake on Sunday that has a very healthy population of Graylings, the biggest I have ever seen. Leeches are what make these Grayling big and fat (pushing 20 inches in length). I haven't ever really tied up too many leeches so I did a quick Google search for an easy leech pattern.
I came across a pattern by Dennis Collier
At first glance it fit what I was looking for, a realistic simple tie. He uses Angora Goat Hair for his leeches, since I didn't have any of that in my chaos of a fly tying room, I used the next best thing, Senyo Laser Dubbing.
I really like Senyo dubbing because of the long fibers and UV look it has. It is great for Streamers and it has a natural fit for leech patterns. So I quickly tied some up. Let's hope it produces as well as it looks.
