Tyler0420 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Leeches seem hard to get this year so im thinking of catching my own. Can you find them in any body of water? I live by the grand river and was thinking about trying there. There’s also some creeks around and random ponds. Any help would Be greatly appreciated. I hear they like to feed on chicken liver or anything real bloody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatman Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 WE used to just drop a fish with a line through the gills in the water after the fillets had been taken off. Tie it to a stick and come back in the morning. Pull it up and pluck the leeches attached. Didn't always work but often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I was reading the most popular way is using a coffee can with some holes in it. Put some meat in it and leave it for the night or a few hours during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNorton Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I know it doesn’t help but the leeches were abundant in Algonquin. Had 3 on me just from wading in the water to fly fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some cheap beef liver has more blood than chicken liver .....we used a coffee can , punctured with spike nails . ...lots of leeches in Ottawa I heard....

Splakin Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Gil, you said it, I'll second that. You can have one of those on your line all day and not get a bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
