Worms and Leeches

[image of worm]

(body length approx. 4-5 cm)

(body length approx 6 cm)

Both of these beasties were found in fast moving water, though the worm came from a spot with more sediment...

Both seem to be common enough in the lower river that I'd put serious thought into fishing a San Juan Worm, or brown wooley bugger.

Didn't feel the need to test if the leech was the blood sucking variety...
