? Welcome back to Tying Tuesday, fellow fly fanatics! This week, we're back in the vise game with Kyle at the bench, whipping up a highly requested pattern— the Pyramid Leech! This fly is a balanced, buggy beast that's downright deadly in stillwater. Whether you're planning a trip to the legendary Pyramid Lake or just chasing fat trout in your local lakes and reservoirs, this leech deserves a permanent spot in your fly box. Why? Because fish LOVE leeches—especially BC trout. And this one's got the movement, profile, and attitude to trigger those aggressive eats.
