Simi Seal Leeches

[redietz]

Yes there are, but I suspect we often overthink the idea of closely matching only the fauna of a particular body of water. Perhaps a trout chomps on a fly just because it looks alive and, as been said often in the past, it doesn't have fingers to grasp something to check it out. Inhale it, check it out, then either swallow it or spit it out. Or, in our case, hook the pretty creatures and have our way with them.

I agree, (I fish generic flies more than anything) but there's no harm in imitating something that's there, either. Either way, "leech" patterns needn't be restricted to still waters.

I doubt that trout ever get keyed on leeches in any sort of water.
