Jelly Leech Balanced Brown Olive

Balanced Jelly Leech | Deadly Suspended Action for Stillwater Success

The Balanced Jelly Leech is a go-to fly for stillwater anglers targeting trout with precision. Tied with a tungsten bead positioned on a pin to balance the fly horizontally under an indicator, this pattern hangs naturally in the water—exactly like the real thing. When suspended, the Jelly Leech undulates with every movement in the water, mimicking leeches, aquatic worms, or small baitfish.

What makes this fly a standout is its gel-like translucence and subtle flash, giving it a juicy, lifelike look that trout can’t resist. It’s especially effective during low-light conditions, in spring and fall, or anytime fish are cruising slowly and keying in on slow-moving prey.
