Leeches have worldwide distribution and are a favorite trout food. For any angler exploring a lake for the first time, leeches are a great place to start. From the summer light to the summer doldrums, leeches are an all-day, year-round food source. Leeches and Woolly Buggers are a basic pattern in any stillwater fly box.
