Rabbit fly New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Great looking fly! Smallmouths should love that one! Looks a bit like a Casual Dress nymph, one of my all time favorite nymphs & I really like rabbit fur! I've been tying some flies with rabbit recently too! Good stuff!

I used to tie some patterns with herl heads, but now don't although it looks great, my experience has been that they just don't hold up real well for me. For bodies it's fine, especially with a wire rib, but it just don't get it done for me on a head. I now use mini cactus chenille in peacock green any place I used to use the herl.

Very buggy looking fly. About the peacock herl, to reinforce it you can tie in the strands then wrap your tying thread around the length of the herl then wrap the bunch forward so you have a thread reinforced herls section.
