Leech Season is over.

Leeches
are only available from May to July.
These Medium to Large Size Leeches are a
mix size of medium and large leeches. They range between 15 to 20 dozen
per pound.
Leeches have sucking disks at both ends. When
you watch a leech swim, the small end or head, is forward. Leeches use the
larger disk on the tail only for clinging to objects. Ribbon leeches feed
primarily at night on mosquito larva, decaying organic matter and dead animals;
they are rarely seen during the daytime. Since leeches can be easily
transported and require little care, they have become a popular walleye and
bass bait.
Fishermen use two methods when fishing with
leeches. One way is to hook the ribbon leech in the larger of the two suckers,
which is actually the tail; this way will usually encourage the leech to
stretch out as it attempts to swim away. This method works best when fishing
with a bobber. If you are trolling, hook the leech through the head so the
leech is swimming forward. If you hook the wrong end, leeches often ball up and
you cannot do much with them. Sometimes, they roll up even when hooked
correctly.
Our fresh live bait leeches come from the clean
waters in West Central Minnesota - the most abundant leech harvesting in the
world.
Our lively ribbon leeches are packaged
and shipped in pre-moistened bedding and can live 2 to 3 weeks in your
refrigerator door.
Our wholesale leeches are easy to keep alive.
Leeches can be kept alive for weeks, even without food if you take care of
them. Do not use water with salt or chorine it in, non-chlorinated tap water in
most areas is suitable for leeches or lake water would be the best. Do not use
distilled water alone because its extreme purity can be harmful to the leeches'
metabolic balance. Keep the water clean. Change the water when it shows signs
of becoming dirty or polluted.
