Description
Fl. Sasquatch Bush Fur Leech — Articulated Chartreuse Leech Fly
When the bite goes quiet, this fly starts a conversation
There are flies that get ignored and flies that get eaten. The Fl. Sasquatch Bush Fur Leech is the second kind — an articulated saltwater and freshwater streamer pattern that combines maximum movement with a chartreuse flash profile that works in everything from clear flats to blown-out estuaries.
The body is built with Fl. Sasquatch Bush Fur — one of the most responsive synthetic dubbing materials available. It traps water, pulses on the pause, and kicks on the strip. Pair that with Semperfli Chartreuse Krinkle Flash along the lateral line and a collar of Green Chartreuse Ewing Chickabou off the rear junction, and you’ve got a fly that generates its own strike trigger on every retrieve — even a dead one.
The articulated build runs on a Partridge hook chassis tied clean with Semperfli aught thread. No bulk. No bleed. Just a slim profile that cuts water fast and hangs in the current like something alive. Fish it on a sink tip through deep structure, swing it across a tidal flat, or strip it hard through the surf zone — this leech hunts everywhere.
Available in sizes #1 through #10 — scale up for big water and low visibility, scale down for pressured fish and clear flats. Each fly is hand-tied to order.

FAQ — Schema-Ready for Google
What fish species is the Fl. Sasquatch Bush Fur Leech designed for?
It’s built for any aggressive predator that eats leeches or baitfish — striped bass, redfish, snook, tarpon, pike, largemouth bass, and sea-run trout. Size down for pressured trout in clear freshwater, size up for big inshore species in stained water or surf.
How do I fish an articulated leech fly?
Strip-pause-strip is the baseline retrieve. The articulated joint gives this fly a kick on every pause that triggers reflex strikes. It also swings well on a sink tip and dead-drifts effectively in current. If fish are following but not committing, slow way down — let the Chickabou do the work.
What hook size should I order?
For saltwater and larger freshwater applications, #1 or #2 is the go-to. For trout in clear or low water, #6–#10 gives you a more natural profile. When in doubt, go one size smaller than you think you need.
