The Hothead Black Leech - Chartreuse is a versatile and highly effective fly pattern designed to imitate leeches, one of the primary food sources for predatory fish such as trout, steelhead, and salmon. Featuring a black body with a vibrant chartreuse hothead, this fly combines the natural movement of a leech with the added visual appeal of a bright hothead, making it particularly effective for drawing aggressive strikes from fish in fast-moving waters or low-light conditions.

The black leech body is crafted from soft, flowing materials that mimic the undulating movement of a real leech, while the chartreuse hothead serves as an attractor, enhancing the fly's visibility in various water conditions. This pattern is especially productive during spawning seasons when fish are actively feeding on both leeches and eggs.

To fish the Hothead Black Leech - Chartreuse effectively, cast it across or downstream and allow it to swing through the current. You can also retrieve it with short, sharp strips to imitate the erratic movement of a fleeing leech. This fly works best in deep pools, fast currents, and near structures where predatory fish are likely to be feeding.
