This week, we're thrilled to have Travis Hanson joining us in the studio to showcase his exceptional balanced leech pattern! This fly is a true game-changer underwater, thanks to its tantalizing crystal flash that captures and reflects light, making it an irresistible treat for fish. Travis also joined us for a Stillwater exclusive Coffee Break, head over to our channel to check it out or the card at the end of this video!
