Stu Thompson has the DDH Leech patterns which he made famous fishing for cats and carp. They would work great on still waters fished deep and slow in colors to match the local leeches. Another thing which BIG BROWNS love is Crawdads! If you have crawdads in your local resevoir or lake, find out when the typically molt...probably sometime in april through june. That is when you want to fish crawdaddy patterns when the real ones are soft shelled!
