Wapsi Leech Yarn

Wapsi Leech Yarn

Wapsi Leech Yarn is made from long angora fibres twisted into a convenient yarn, making it an excellent material for tying streamer and nymph bodies with a natural, lifelike appearance.

The long breathable fibres create a soft, flowing profile in the water, perfect for leech patterns, hairy nymphs, and other streamer flies. Its simple application allows fly tiers to quickly build buggy bodies by tying the yarn in at the rear of the hook and winding it forward.

For an even more natural look, the fibres can be teased out with a bodkin after wrapping to produce a fuller, more animated effect that mimics the movement of aquatic insects and baitfish.
