This fly does it all, and boy it does it well. Black leech is a jack of all trades. You can fish it streamer style, on a nymph rig or even in a dry dropper. This fly mimics leech but it can pass as small fish or larger nymph. I’ve caught more fish on this than any other fly, its so effective that I don’t even like to fish it😂It’s simple easy to tie and catches loads of fish, what more can you ask. I usually tie this with golden tungsten bead, but I don’t have any currently. This works with or without a bead, I’m convinced this would work even without a hook.😂 Caught my personal record seatrout on size 10 leech, 72cm. Photo is attached, couldn’t find one with the fly still hanging from the lip.

This is my favourite baitfish pattern. You can tie this any size, any color, weighted or not. The options are endless, only your creativity is the limit. I fish this in just about any water, when the fish are eating baitfish. This fly can be fished to catch just about anything. I’ve caught trout, perch, northern pike and zander. This fly is super versatile and fun to tie. You can be the Picasso of flytying and paint it, or use different color materials to mimic anything you want. This fly has no rules, make it as you like. That’s why I like it so much.

Tinseli is a common streamer seen in rivers of central Finland. It’s tied using angelhair, most commonly silver or gold. Tinseli mimics baitfish such as smelt or roach. Most effectively used when smelt rises to spawn in the rapids. Added a link to a youtube tying tutorial. Cutting the angelhair to shape is tricky, so thought it was better to show you.

Super buggy shrimp pattern, tied to fish any water where shrimp live. I fish this on the coast of baltic sea in southern Finland. Tied to target seatrout, but works practically on any species that lives here. The color and size of this fly(approx. 5cm) makes this tasty treat to any fish I throw this for. This has even caught me northern pike. Tie on in your favourite color, any size you want. Easy, simple yet super effective.
