Steve Burke's Salmon and Steelhead Fly-Tying Guide
Kennedy Mini Leech

Kennedy Mini Leech
Name Kennedy Mini Leech
Category Chum Salmon
Hook Gamakatsu Octopus, or Salt Water Hook, Size 1/0 to 2/0
Tail Chartreuse Zonker Strip, About 1/4 In. Past Bend of Hook.(Tie in before bend; leave enough for wing; Wrap Thread forward on hook shank under zonker strip)
Wing The Remainder of the Chartreuse Zonker Strip, Wrapped Around Hook to about 1/4 in. Before Eye. (Leave enough room for head)
Head Pink Estaz, Wrapped to Form Head

Note: I tie this variation of the Bunny Leech and Mini Leech patterns for the chums at Kennedy Creek, the South Puget Sound tidal creek that is getting a nice run of Chum Salmon right now. It has been very successful. I also tie it in fluorescent red with a chartreuse head.

Do you have any questions about this fly?
