Lundvike Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 So I kind of played with a more traditional double bunny pattern and I came up with this: My wife thinks its ugly and reminded me that fish don't have hair. Hook: Mustad 1/0 34007 Body: Lead, UV polar chenille, red bunny strip over the eyes to simulate gills Body/tail: Gold variant rabbit strip and white rabbit strip Eyes: Gold medium size flat end dumbells Thread: tan 6/0 I need to buy some stick on eyes!! Thanks BBB cause I really needed something else to be addicted to. I guess its less damaging to my brain than crack (although there was a lot of solvent from the glue) but more expensive.

ogilvie Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Nice pattern...try painting on the eyes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 the lead made the thing really difficult to manage with my 6 weight when I tried it yesterday. also I think it made the it sit the wrong way up in the water. but man did it sink fast. Looked really neat when stripped and then stopped. If anyone is interested I lost one on the bank by the poo hole go a ahead and try it out.

Hawgstoppah Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 if it sinks fast, you'll be able to find many practical uses. I'd do what was suggested and paint on the eyes.. looks good though Should be a real god fly for bull trout hunting. Cast towards where water plunges into a deeper spot (a plunge pool), and let the current sweep it down right to the bulls waiting there on the bottom under all that white water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
