AndrewP 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by AndrewP: I love the way rabbit works in the water, and have been tying bunny flies for quite a while. They work well, and I've caught loads of fish on a simple all-white bunny fly. I have been thinking about a simple way to add a second color. Finally sat down at the vice and created these ..... I'm sure there are some other color combinations that would work well too (black/purple, chartreuse/white for example). The flies are easy and fast to tie. Enjoy ...

lykos33 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 Nice, I have to learn how to tie the strips off up the shank, mine always seem to bunch up the bunny fur... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJD 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Andrew nice stuff! I've really gotten into the rabbit as well. Once you work out the specifications to keep the tail from fouling, they work great with lots of action. I've been doing mine with a short spun deerhair head for a little more bulk.

agn54 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 great looking flies. :headbang: I have also had alot of luck on bunny flies in saltwater usually in all white, but I really like the way you do the 2 tones Matuka style. A chartreuse over white or electric chicken would be deadly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you work out the specifications to keep the tail from fouling, they work great with lots of action. I've been doing mine with a short spun deerhair head for a little more bulk. Tie in a piece of 20# mono extending 1.5-2" back from curve of the hook before you tie in your zonker strip. 1. lay base of thread. 2. fold mono in half tie in above the curve so that the folded part extends past the curve about 1.5 - 2" then snip the fold area, then tie in your zonker strip on top of the mono. this will help keep it away from the hook area by holding it up hope that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stream urchin 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Wow what a neat tie. Looks like a blue gill type shape. I'm going to tie it on a jig hook with cone head. I'll just poke a hole for the top strip and be all set. Thanks. SU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
