As temperatures begin to drop in the Fall and the trout move back into the shallows to feed, it is hard not to toss out a big fat leech pattern to try and entice a trout looking for a big meal. The Barr’s Bouface leech fits the bill.
We like to fish this pattern on an intermediate sinking line but if the fish aren't up in the shallows quite yet, a little bit quicker of a sink rate can be the ticket with a fairly slow, steady retrieve. If you find that the fish are biting but you can’t connect, try stopping the fly and just letting it sit motionless in the water for a few seconds after the initial “tap”. It’s common for the fish to circle back around and smash the fly.
We keep four colours of this staple fly patterns in our boxes. They are Black, Wine, Olive and Brown. They all produce well for us!
