Here's a variation of my favorite Landon Mayer pattern, the Mini Jig Leech. With the addition of a jig hook and some Solarez Bone Dry, this pattern is now ready to go! Join me in the video as I tie the Mayer's Mini Jig Leech, interview Rob Giannino from the Fly Fishing Journeys podcast, and discuss fishing Wyoming's North Platte River with Ryan Anderson of Wyoming Fly Fishing. Lots in this one!

Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice. If in the need for some helpful tips and other fly tying and fly fishing information, be sure to check out my "Trout and Feather" accounts on Facebook and Instagram; I'll also ask for additional questions for a future "Q & A" through those accounts and YouTube.
