PrarieCreekFlyer Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ive got 12 open spots left in my bunny box left to fill in (that arent being filled with double bunnys or ganders or matsukas or zonkers) im targeting bullies and large broonies with this box. Anyone got any god patterns to try? (anyone know what bunny pattern Humblefisherman uses in the bulltrout video is called) Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrarieCreekFlyer Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Max, Im tying doubles as we speak in 4 different coulour patterns and 4 sizes Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I call it the half rabbit cause I used half a rabbit. ok that was funnier when I was playing with the glue. Hooks: two Mustad 1/0 34007 Thread: Red 6/0 Body: red, black and white rabbit Flash: orange Eyes: Sea Eyes Large Red Legs: Sili Legs Firetip Red/black Glues: Goop for binding the rabbit, crazy for securing rabbit to hook, Epoxy for the head Hooks joined by stainless steel leader. Fishing suggestion: Cause I think it will be hard to cast (my biggest pole is a 6 weight) place it in the water next to your pontoon or float tube and paddle like crazy. how about one of these if you got some scraps leftover.fills the box fast.

Guest bigbadbrent Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How big are you willing to tie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrarieCreekFlyer Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Brent, Depends i guess im up to 5-6 inches on some of the double bunnys and zonkers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Do you have 1) Stinger hooks (gamakastu octopus or equivalent) 2) Firewire or equivalent (i use straight mono called Slickshooter)? 3) Magnum Rabbit Strips if so, loop the firewire through the eye of the stinger hook, and back over the hook, then tighten. Place this hook in your vice and tie in long section of rabbit. Whip finish. get another hook, place in your vice, and tie your firewire to it (loop it back on itself, tighten it good with thread, and glue it if you want the extra strength). You then want to use the rabbit like hackle and palmer it forward, over the stinger hook, over the firewire, and onto your front hook. This will make a fly that has way more size and motion then any double bunny. tie off, and do what you want to finish it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
