Observation at the pond last night while I was out taking a look at the Comet.. I pointed my 4-wheeler down the bank and turned the headlight on, looking into the water I was watching as a few minnows started showing up, then outta nowhere comes a leech. Looked to be about 4-5" long, redish-brown in color and a quite graceful swimmer. I've only seen 1 swimming leech in my life and it was a big dude up in a Canadian shield lake. Does anyone know what leeches indicate or if this is a bad thing? I know they are present in areas around here in a much smaller, black form, but never seen one swimming like this. In Bill Cody's smb article published several years back, in part 5, the forage types listed show a leech and this was quite similar in color and ruffled edges.
