Mayer's Mini Jig Leech, Fly Fishing Journeys podcast, and Wyoming Fly Fishing!
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. Through my website, you can also sign-up for monthly emails; just scroll down to the bottom of the home page. Thanks!

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
