Tying a Hareball Leech Fishing Fly

A classic staple for Steelhead and Salmon. This is a simple pattern that uses two materials. The design is all about the way rabbit hair moves in the water. We like Chartreuse and Pink, but dark colors are also productive. If you’re headed north, be sure to have plenty of these at the ready.
