Tying Instructions: I orriginally wanted to tie a white rabbit strip wing with a J.C. eye but could not find any rabbit strips

This fly is basicly tied straight forward as a streamer, tail, rib, body throat, wing, topping.
Presentation Tips: This fly was tied to fish the tide while it is in the rivers here in Nova Scotia. There is an old pattern here for fishing these tidal rivers that consists of a claret body and a white wing. This fly will be swum with the oncomming tide and stripped with pauses while the tide is full and then swum while the tide is receding
