The Carey Special is a bit of an old school pattern, originating in Canada. Still used as a go-to pattern for many stillwater anglers, it can represent a number of things from leeches, to dragonflies. The combination of hackle movement and peacock herl can be irresistable, sometimes |

There are many versions of the mohair leech. We love it because it's a simple fly to tie and it works.
This pattern can be very effective for big fish on S. Twin Lake early in the season when leeches are the primary food source for hungry trout in the spring.
