The Black & Purple Leech is a proven streamer pattern that combines a bold silhouette with lifelike movement to trigger aggressive strikes from trout. Whether you're fishing rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, this pattern excels when fish are looking for larger, high-protein meals.

The flowing marabou tail, subtle flash, and dark profile make it especially effective in stained water, low-light conditions, and anytime trout are actively hunting.

Everything needed to tie 25 Black & Purple Leeches.

Why It Works

Leeches are an important food source in both rivers and stillwaters, and trout rarely pass up an opportunity to chase a large, easy meal. The Black & Purple Leech combines a dark, highly visible profile with flowing marabou that creates constant movement in the water.

The tungsten bead quickly gets the fly into the strike zone, while the flash and contrasting colors help fish locate it even in deeper or stained water.

Perfect For

• Beginner and experienced fly tyers
• Streamer fishing for trout
• Lakes, reservoirs, and rivers
• Low-light and stained water conditions
• Anglers looking for a proven searching pattern

How To Fish It

Fish the Black & Purple Leech on a streamer setup using short strips, long steady retrieves, or a slow hand-twist retrieve in stillwater. It can also be fished under an indicator or as part of a balanced leech setup.

Focus on drop-offs, weed edges, deeper pools, and structure where trout are likely to ambush larger prey.
