Funny story, many moons ago we were on a Slave Lake late May guys fishing weekend, made a hockey bet and the wager was we had to switch to minnows as our only bait for the rest of the trip, as we were both leech guys. Hence to say I lost the bet, had to use minnows for the rest of trip. That was 15 years ago, I am still on minnows, especially at Slave.. I have tried the odd leech along the way, but minnows have proven to be way more successful. leeches do stay on longer but i find they go limp and ineffective after a 10-15 minute lull in action. When the bite is really on, I cut my minnows in half and they work just as well.
