On the small streams I frequent, it is hard to fish streamers. It doesn't seem like an obviously fly choice. However, once you start using them and catching fish they become a staple in your box. Rabbit Hair leeches and squirrel hair leeches work great. On smaller water I find myself fishing them more and more. I cast across, let them sink, swing, and then "jig" them back upstream. Tie some and you will be happy they did.

great leech pattern. like the idea using the squirrel strips. I like to use the squirrel strips for slumpbusters also. just as good as rabbit too. using the contrasting estaz under body great idea :)
Thanks,
