I am posting these as a follow up to Mike Livingstons thread asking about fishing on the White….I thought it better to post pics separately instead of jumping his thread.
I can’t remember the name of the fly, a Bunny Whomper or some other off beat title only a fly would have, but I did help tie a few.
It’s built on a Mustad long shank 1/0 hook, (34011?…can’t remember) the body is a hairy-wooly copper/brown chenille with some flash built into it. It gets wrapped past the brass dumb bell eyes with a yellow barred rabbit strip tied in just before the hooks eye. These guys had an impressive offering of large flies to cast.
The big ugly Browns would really hammer it when once they decided to commit. The fly pictured was one of the more forgiving ones to throw….below is a top view and a few other patterns. All of the designs used were about getting down and deep in a hurry and stripping like crazy.
They also hurt like hell when your fishing partner smacks you in the back of the head with one.
