I understand about tieing in the yarn at a right angle to the hook shank, but have one more question. Does the leech have a "tail", that is a piece of yarn that extends beyond the hook? I tie a bead head leech, after being given one in a swap, that has the yarn palmered from behind the bead at the eye to the bend, and then about a hook shanks length of yarn beyond the bend.

btw, I took a 3 lb Channel Cat today on that exact fly while bothering the bluegills in a small pond in the nearby WMA. What a hoot on a 3 weight.
