Tip
Tip: Let the fly undulate and move, rather than holding it stiff
How to do it: Present leech flies with undulating movement, rather than holding them stiff

Why it works: Undulating leeches imitate natural movement, triggering strikes. Stiff leeches look dead.
When it matters most: Streamer and Predator, leech movement
