Black articulated bunny leech with dumbell eyes and some flash and some marabou… size big. Catches everything.
This tied using pine squirrel strips in a variety of colors. The cone needs a little room to wiggle near the eye so the fly rattles a little bit. The local guys here call them a pine cone fly. It is just a slumpbuster variant. Drives trout and bass crazy. Catches crappie and bluegill too (if the bluegill are large enough to get the thing in their mouth).I’m starting to see a bit of a rabbit-strip theme develop here….
You can tie all the flies you’ll ever need with a few dead bunnies.
For spring through autumn fishing, I don’t think I could do better than fishing a size 16 black ant. Big or small water, tailwater or freestone, I seem to always catch fish on a black ant. Fish it dry if fish are looking up or let it sink if they’re feeding down the water column. Once in the midst of a Green Drake hatch in Colorado, I tied one on and had a huge trout come up and annihilate the ant pattern when I wouldn’t get a rise on any drake patterns I had.

Only a person who’s fished one knows.
JCAnd Neal – we still want to see the electric chicken…
