[AsymptoteInverse]

Quite helpful! Thanks for the video.

I believe you should stand in the water for a while, it usually seems to attract the most leeches for me.

We use the rubber band sometimes to help keep leeches from falling out when pulling the trap out of the water.

why do you put a rubber band on the trap?

Excellent video! I searched YouTube for Pond Leeches and this was my first pick. I got the information that I was looking for from this video. Bravo!

is the leech for fishing

[JewellOutdoors]

Yes, the leech is for fishing. We have yet to enter the medicinal market!

[grettagrids]

@JewellOutdoors you should enter the medicinal market!! they work good for alot of things.

@JewellOutdoors does he sell the leeches to stores or are they for personal use?

what time of the year is the best time to trap leeches.

I have had the best luck around walleye fishing opener.

[JewellOutdoors]

I'd say the best time is from May 1 thru the end of June, however you can catch them anytime where there isn't ice.

There isn't enough salt in there to hurt them - most of it dissolves in the water. The salt is a preservative. Think of your Christmas Ham - it is preserved in a brine (salt) solution.

ok so i have been using a folded coffee can in about 3 to 4 foot of water in a bever pond. and this pond is loaded with leeches. but how can i make this flat trap you are using?

[jtschid0910]

I just take a coffee tin can and drill a bunch of 1/4 in. holes and rig it up pretty much the same thing
