ADDITIONAL NOTES

The only name I can put with Rush's Leech is the tiers nickname "Rush". Rush is a contract electrician I met at a place I was working. After 3 days of failing to remember the given and sir names to put with this fly I have given up to rest my dwindeling 50+ year old memory. I've used Rush's Leech in 8 or 9 local lakes and reservoirs with outstanding results. "Rush" told me the fly was an excellent fish catcher. Imagine that, a fly fisher telling the truth.
