Leech pattern for Oregon’s High Lakes: Speckle Bugger

This leech fly is a versatile pattern for fishing Oregon’s High Lakes. You only want enough lead to sink the fly slowly, so you can retrieve it at a crawl. The variegated materials give an illusion of segmentation, and movement, which can be important. A fly that can suspend, but still look like it’s moving can be killer on stillwater fish.
