Note: Contested against a published dressing: MISMATCH — this is the originator's own dressing (the Cheech Leech is Lance Egan/Cheech's pattern and Fly Fish Food is his site), and it contradicts our record in structure, not just materials. Differences: (1) the real Cheech Leech is an ARTICULATED two-hook fly joined by Senyo intruder wire… Source: Cheech (Fly Fish Food) — "Cheech Leech" tying tutorial — https://www.flyfishfood.com/blogs/streamer-tutorials/cheech-leech
Classic Recipe
Hook Streamer, 3x long, 4-8
Thread Black or olive 6/0
Materials
Tail Marabou (full)
Body Chenille or dubbing brush (full)
Collar Marabou (palmered)
Head Tungsten cone or bead (1)
Flash Flashabou (in tail)
How to tie it
Slide a tungsten cone onto the hook before mounting. Small end toward the eye.
Tie in a full marabou tail at the bend with flash mixed in. The tail should be about one and a half shank lengths. Leeches are long and flowing.
Build a full body with chenille or dubbing brush forward to the cone.
Palmer a marabou feather through the body for the collar. 3-4 loose, open turns. The marabou fibers should wave freely in all directions.
Tie off behind the cone and whip finish.
