When Phil Rowley first came across a balanced leech nearly 20 years ago, he didn't expect it to become one of the most influential flies in his Stillwater arsenal.
In this episode, Phil sits down with the guy who helped make it all happen—Jerry McBride. You'll hear how the balanced fly came to life, the gear that made it work, and why this style of fly has become a Stillwater staple.
If you've ever fished a balanced fly under an indicator—or just wondered what the big deal is—this is the origin story you've been waiting for.
