Flies for the cascade lakes

Fishing Balanced Leeches and Chironomids:

Balanced leeches are designed to hang horizontally in the water rather than vertically. This realistic presentation, about one foot above the bottom, under an indicator, is my most productive way to fish the Cascade Lakes. A footlong strip every thirty to sixty seconds will sometimes entice a strike. One must concentrate intensely on the indicator, as the slightest movement means a fish, and the ‘set’ must be made immediately before the fish spits the fly.

I fish the chironomids essentially the same way, only with shorter and slower strips.
