The Black Pine Squirrel Leech is a staple streamer that delivers consistent results across seasons and water types. Tied with a soft pine squirrel zonker strip, this fly pulses and swims naturally with every movement, perfectly imitating a leech or small baitfish. The black coloration provides a strong silhouette and excellent contrast, making it deadly in low light, deep water, or murky conditions where visibility is limited.
This pattern excels when fish are feeding near the bottom or during cooler months when leeches are more active. Its subtle motion and natural sink rate entice trout, bass, and even panfish to strike. A proven performer from stillwater edges to river seams, the Pine Squirrel Leech - Black deserves a permanent spot in your fly box.
Best for:
- Trout and bass in stained or low-light conditions
- Deep runs, pools, and stillwaters
- Slow retrieves or swinging through structure
📌 Pro Tip: Fish it on a sink-tip or intermediate line for consistent depth control. Vary your retrieve speed—short, slow strips often draw strikes from bigger, more cautious fish.
