Late summer leeches

[Nancy]

Just wondering if leeches are still available this time of year?

Coreen told me last week that she may get a last delivery for the long weekend labor day but could not confirm at the time. But she still had some 4-5 days ago.

It varies from year to year depending on weather conditions.
Last year the leeches were done early August.
We had to scramble from Bait shop to Bait shop to get leeches for our September trip.
We bought them mid August and kept them alive at home.

This year Pronature claim that they will have a pound for me when I arrive September 1.
Bur they also claim that it will be the end of them for the season.
Very fortunate for us that it is a prolonged season for them.

Picked up a pound last week at Trader Joes on Trout Lake.  $70 Canadian.  Very nice size - checked the leeches at Pronature when buying our licenses and they seemed smaller.
