This week’s Tying Tuesday brings collectively 4 patterns that couldn’t be extra completely different from each other—proof that a bit of selection on the bench can preserve issues attention-grabbing when the water isn’t cooperating.

From there, we soar to the Hotheaded Leech, a stillwater sleeper that completely hammers brook trout in backwoods ponds. And to spherical issues out, Morten Valeur of Ahrex Hooks walks via his RAW CF Baitfish, a big-profile streamer constructed to remain gentle and castable whereas concentrating on predatory trout in Scandinavian rivers.
