Mojo Leech as tied by Michael Kyle
Recipe: Hook: Diachi 1720 or TMC 5263, size 6-12 Bead: Nickel, proportion to the hook size Thread: Danville 6/0, color to match body Body: Mo-hair Leech Dubbing, custom blend by BCO
Step 1.
Slide on the bead.
Step 2.
Wrap some lead on the hook shank and slide it up against the bead. I usually do 12-20 wraps depending on the current speed I’m fishing.
Step 3.
Grab a ball of dubbing blend and tie directly in the center of it.
Step 4.
Fold the strands going forward and tie them back as well., tie on top just a little to force the rest back.
Step 5.
Create a dubbing loop at the back of the fly.
Step 6.
Wind it forward until you get behind the bead, snug it up as close as you can without adding too much bulk.
Step 7.
With a soft comb or brush, comb the hair back to blend it with all the rest. Whip finish and glue it.
