MICRO PINE SQUIRREL LEECH TUNGSTEN

Description

Micro Pine Squirrel Leech Tungsten is a compact, tactical fly that combines the natural look of pine squirrel fur with the fast descent of a tungsten bead. Tied on a barbless jig hook, this pattern rides hook-point up, reducing snags and improving hook sets—especially in tight, rocky runs and deep pools.

Designed to imitate juvenile leeches, aquatic worms, and even small baitfish, the micro profile allows for subtle presentations in cold water, off-color conditions, or heavily pressured fisheries. The zonked pine squirrel strip breathes and pulses in the current, delivering lifelike movement even when dead-drifted or gently twitched.

The tungsten bead ensures rapid sink rate and solid bottom contact, making it an ideal anchor fly for Euro nymphing or tight-line rigs. It’s also highly effective under an indicator when depth control is key.

Whether you’re fishing winter tailwaters, spring runoff edges, or fast canyon water, the Micro Pine Squirrel Leech Tungsten gets to the strike zone quickly and stays there. Its natural tone, compact profile, and subtle movement trigger confident eats from trout that might ignore flashier or bulkier flies.

A reliable option for anglers seeking stealth, sink rate, and fishy realism in one smart patter
