When subtlety meets flash and function, you get Umpqua Mayer’s Mini Leech Jig Radiant—a jig-style evolution of Landon Mayer’s most trusted leech pattern. Purpose-built for targeting fish holding deep in rivers, lakes, and stillwaters, this mini leech imitates the natural movement of small aquatic prey in a stunning, radiant package.
Outfitted with a weighted bead for depth control and tied on a barbless jig hook to minimize snags and maximize hookups, this fly dances seductively with every twitch and drift. Whether you're Euro-nymphing or running it beneath an indicator, this pattern flat-out produces—especially in low light or deeper holding zones where leeches thrive.
