The Leerie Flipper is a purpose-built topwater fly designed to trigger explosive surface strikes from Garrick (Leervis). Built to push water, throw a strong surface profile, and stay stable during aggressive retrieves, this fly excels when fish are hunting baitfish high in the water column.

Tied on the Ahrex SA220 Saltwater Streamer Hook, the Leerie Flipper offers exceptional strength, sharpness, and corrosion resistance — essential when targeting powerful, fast-running predators like Garrick. The hook’s wide gape and strong wire ensure solid hook-ups and confidence when fighting fish in the surf, estuaries, or along the coastline.

Designed to be fished with a strip-pause or under arm retrieve, the Leerie Flipper skates, pops, and flutters across the surface, imitating fleeing baitfish and provoking aggressive reaction strikes. It’s an ideal choice for early mornings, low-light conditions, or whenever Garrick are actively feeding on top.

We like fishing the Leerie Flipper both with floating and intermediate fly lines.
