What is a mud leech. Never heard of it

 

It is a land leech of sorts. They get a decent bit bigger than those of the water variety. And they are a good bit tougher as well. They're found in many places in Ohio. There's a good bit I don't know about them as I have never found them myself. Only ever got them from bait shops. But catfish love them.

 

Walk a ditch along a road at night with a flashlight just like you would picking up earthworms. They come out in the ditches at night. Obviously you need the water to be cleared up but you should find plenty this way. That's how we got all of ours.

 

Does it matter what kind of ditch? Whether it be along the road or through the middle of a field?

 

Never found them, but I have bought a few bags from the bait shop. Those things were huge. Good bait. Good luck finding them.
