Those are both great looking flies.I bet they would work great around the brush piles.Both look simple to tie also.Thanks for sharing.

Extremely simple to tie. That’s another reason to love 'em!
Hi Steve,
Those are both great looking flies. In fact, I cant decide which one I like better. Both should be absolutely great brim and trout producers. Do you think that mohair yarn would work as effectively as Fuzzy Leech Yarn? BTW, are you the proud inventor of those flies? Thanks for sharing. 8T

Yes, they’re my creations.
I don’t think mohair yarn will give the same effect, but you could certainly try.

Thad,
I bought the Fuzzy Leach Yarn in an Orvis shop here years ago. You might check orvis online or Google it.
