Emily Ferguson –
Caught several trout on the Vampire Leech during a morning stream run. The bead head sinks fast and the tail moves naturally. Great for slow presentations in clear water.
Leah Dowd –
Works well in both still and moving water. The flashy tail draws attention, and it’s easy to cast. A reliable addition to my fly box.

Felt the jig sink quickly and stayed on the surface just right. Used it in a cold spring stream and had good results with a wary trout.
