Hi Folks,

I think Ricks leeches have had more impact
on my warmwater fishing than any other
influence in recent years. His black leech
pattern has quickly become a favorite much
to the likeing of my bluegills, red ears and
largemouth bass. Like bowmaker, I believe a
bit of red is a good thing in a warmwater
pattern. I chose to add mine at the other
end of the fly.*G* It makes a great pattern
as a firetail. I just dyed a bit of white
boa yarn and tie in two wraps at the tail
prior tyeing in the black.

Warm regards, Jim
