Nymph
Balanced Leech
Stillwater predator prey
TroutSubsurface
Suspends horizontally like an actual leech — which, really, is the whole point. Crawl it through the depths and fish will notice.
Fish this when
Stillwater fishing in deeper water where leeches would naturally be. Fish it with a slow, creeping retrieve or on the hang with gentle lifts.
Why it works
Horizontal profile matches real leech behaviour exactly. Trout hunt leeches actively. Slow presentation in deeper water triggers stalking response.
