There are many leech patterns out there, yet this one may be the fastest I've ever tied; thanks to Landon Mayer for creating this simple yet effective pattern! This pattern is a variation of his original, being that I have modified it slightly for carp...but don't forget that Landon recommends tying this in smaller sizes for trout. More is discussed about the pattern following the tying, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as well. This is part of my "Two Minute Tying" series, and it's a great fly that can be tied quickly and easily at the vise.
Featured in this video are the MP003BL hooks from Allen Fly Fishing; you can find those hooks and many others at the following link: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/mp003bl-carp-egg-stinger-standard-wire-b…
Thanks for viewing this YouTube fly tying tutorial, and I encourage you to view my additional videos at the following website: http://www.troutandfeather.com
As mentioned in the video, I'm interested in your other patterns that you tie and fish to imitate leeches, thus please mention them below. Fly tying for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice. Feel free to leave any additional questions/comments on this YouTube page, or you can email me: tcammisa@gmail.com

Good stuff
Great little fly, a lot of the ponds here in Maine have healthy leech populations, after ice out on the native Brooke ponds they are easy forage, simple and effective.
