Hook: Gamakatsu T10-6H #6
Head: Gold Beadhead (3/16”)
Thread: Yellow 3/0
Underbody: Yellow Angora Goat

Note: Pine Leeches are popular on Wyoming’s North Platte River. My version incorporates a yellow dubbed body to compliment the orange pine squirrel. Good colors for fall fishing. Also the Pine Leech can be modified for excellent crayfish patterns.
