Pumpkinhead Leech Jig

By A Mystery Man Writer

Leeches are an important part of a trout's diet, especially in high water conditions. Similar to worms, leeches are swept off the rivers edge and bottom supplying an easy non–escaping food supply for the fish. While some leeches are large in size, exceeding one inch, there are just as many that are less than an inch long making the common two inch leech patterns un–productive in many circumstances.
