Hey All,

I've heard of the Thin Mint Leech, but I've been having a lot of problems finding the recipe for tying it. I've looked online to no success. Any help out there?

Try westfly-Fly fishing for Calif.,Idaho,Montana,Wash. It has agood recipe for a thin leech. Just my .02.

Oops! No and nope. That wasn't the Thin Mint Leech. That was just a Mini leech pattern--not exactly the sme thing. The one feature I recall about the TML was that it used peacock herl for the body. Unfortuantely, that's all I can recall about it. Any other suggestions?

There ya go Ceviche01

I could not tell you the exact recipe for the Thin Mint eventhough I have looked at that damn fly in the boxes at work over and over and over again.

It is a pattern, developed by George Cook of Sage, Simms, Issacs Ranch etc. fame and has a tail of brown and olive marabou and a couple strands of small pearl flashabou. It also has a gold bead head and I believe a body of olive dubbing and brown hackle or vice versa. Just remember to keep the dressing the light...

...or a peacock herl body and brown hackle.

Hey Ryan,

Your description sounds right on and does refresh the memory. Thanks a bunch!
