After reading this publication, you will be armed with all the information you need to collect, catch and trap leeches where ever you live and not just in the northern states and Canada where leeches are popular as fishing bait.Leeches are extremely common creatures and found everywhere, even in the waters we commonly fish and swim in and they exist in large numbers. There are as many as a thousand species of leeches worldwide and they are found in every environment and ecosystem. They come in many shapes, sizes and colors and surprisingly to most people, only a few of them are actually blood suckers.Leeches are an abundant and natural food source that fish gobble up!Whether you fish for trout, bass, walleye, pike, catfish or panfish, leeches will catch them. That is why leeches are always in hiding - so they don't get eaten.With a leech on your hook: Will have the confidence of knowing you have the best bait in any fishing condition. It enhances the pleasure and fulfillment of the fishing experience by knowing you caught your own bait and it deepens your connection with nature. Will make you the envy of other fishermen because of your ability to consistently catch fish. Saves you money because you don't have to buy bait. Saves you time making stops and waiting for the bait shop to open getting you to the fishing hole that much sooner. And....If you get good at catching leeches (which is easy to do) you can make money selling them to your friends, fellow fishermen and maybe even to your local bait shop.I published this book because there was a lack of quality information available on this subject. The information I did find was of limited use or value to anyone that was serious about catching leeches. I first started catching leeches to use as fishing bait over 30 years ago, and wanted to share my knowledge and experience on the subject.
