One of my favorites for fishing high muddy water. Tied on 2inch 3/32 copper tube fly.

Lord of the bunnies
Posted 13 February 2007 - 02:34 PM
Very nice. i tie alot of tubes like this one. I'm a bunny fanatic (hence the nickname under my screen name dubbed on me by Steeldrifter LOL). I tie up one very similar that I call the "Bad bunny". It's a hardcore fishing fly, very simple to tie (mostly bunny and flashabou actually). This is a great fly, love it to death. In fact, the name "Bad bunny" came from two of my friends. I got the idea from a string leech I had seen, but I hate tying them up. So started tying them on tubes (mostly for gear fishing actually, but for flyfishing as well). My two buddies where up fishing the Skeena for steelhead. Brad was fishing spoons, while Marty took out these tube flies I tied for him. Guess who was spanking steelhead? Yup, one fishing the bunny tubes. At first they thought it was a fluke, since the Skeena is known for catching steelhead on hardware. After two days and my buddy with the tubes catching most of the fish, Brad acclaimed "Stop using those damned bad bunnies". Name stuck, and kept thier name.
This is a pic of the original bad bunny tied on a heavier tube. Normally i just tie them up on clear tube and leave body blank. Wanted more flash, so wrapped body with tinsel.
