Sure looks like a leech to me Burkhard!
</div>
<div>
No doubt very life like imitations have hit the market but
</div>
<div>
none of them are alive.
</div>
<div>
I don't know about how many different species of leech are in our waters
</div>
<div>
but several I suspect. Never saw a book on the subject - just how to fish them.
</div>
<div>
Often when we used to clean trout for supper we would find small leech in them
</div>
<div>
not the big 5 cm kind seen in the water. It may be this was a mature individual
</div>
<div>
of a smaller species.
</div>
<div>
An interesting subject - I must read Thom Green's article again.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the early autumn!

The critter was certainly alive and well, not a plastic imitation.

A little tough to say from the photo, but it looks to me like an plastic poppyseed leech aka a "powerbait". Commonly used for small mouth bass fishing. The only thing that's throwing me off is the stuck to your foot part.

<div>
 
</div>

Otherwise, I guess it could be the type of leech the lure is meant to imitate. However that would be a new critter to me.

After a swim in a muddy lake,
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
a tiny (1 mm thin, 5 mm long) sucking animal
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
had attached itself to my foot. It was easy to pull off.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Does anybody have an idea what I collected?
