The bunny leech fly pattern is a large streamer-style fly. The leech is easy to tie and only requires a few materials. The bunny leech does not actually imitate an average leech because the profile is too large. It imitates a large Alaskan or Canadian leech but not the smaller versions found in the lower 48 states. The pattern does remain effective in most waters and is a standard in many fly boxes.
Cross cut and Zonker style rabbit strips give this fly a lifelike pulsating action proven to stimulate strikes from trout, salmon, bass, and a variety of other species.
FLY RECIPE:
HOOK: TFS 5263, sizes 2-6
THREAD: Ultra Tying Thread, 6/0 color to match body color
HEAD: Fluorescent Chenille, color to match desired egg color
TAIL: Rabbit Fur Strips, palmered up (not cross cut) - color of choice
BODY: Rabbit Fur Strips, palmered up (not cross cut) - color of choice
