Welcome to the Littoral Zone podcast. I'm your host, Felroli. The Littoral Zone or Shoal Area of the Lake is a place where the majority of the action takes place.

My podcast is intended to do the same. Put you where the action is to help you improve your stillwater fly fishing.

On each broadcast, I, along with guests from all over the

world, will be providing you with information, tips and tricks, flies, presentation techniques,

along with different lakes or regions to explore. I hope you enjoy today's podcast.

Please feel free to email me with your stillwater related fly fishing questions and

comments. I do my best to answer as many as we can prior to each episode, just before the main

content. Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy today's show. Leeches are a key stillwater

food source, not only for trout, but for other fish.

When I fish lakes, leeches are one of my go-to patterns and presentation options,

especially early and late season or when starting out on the water for the first time.

Fish seldom pass up a well-presented leach pattern.

Good friend, author, fly designer,

and fellow leach addict Landon Meyer joins me once again on my podcast to provide what we hope is the ultimate leach guide. Landon joined me previously on episode number 10 where we discuss

shoreline strategies and tactics for still waters. If you haven't had a chance to listen to this episode,

I recommend you give it a listen.

Today, Landon and I will be discussing all aspects of using leeches,

including when and how to use them,

our favorite presentation tactics,

leader configurations, life cycle,

and why leach patterns consistently perform well on

our local lakes and other lakes across both North and South America.
