Just Hares mask. Super simple pattern.

this very pattern was the ticket for a friend of mine on the Metolius just a week ago... He scored a Metolius Grand Slam..... bull trout, brown trout, rainbow, and whitefish all in the same 30 yard stretch of river in a morning of fishing together. I, who did not have any sexy walts, didn't fare so well. Naturally, I just finished tying a batch of you guessed it... Sexy Walts!

DUBBN,

This is just the first one out of this outstanding series of winter flies that I have to set down and tie tomorrow!!

Thank you. I had intended to fish today, and use them. As luck would have it, I was called last night to head to Wyoming for the next two weeks. No fishing, and working through Christmas.

When I tie these, I leave a very pronounced hot spot collar. I also tie the hot spot in Pink, Red, or Purple.

I do not know why, but when I am struggling, this is the pattern that saves my day.

I sure hope it works for you some where down the line.



Pssst, try it with Sowbug Rainbow dubbing too.

DUBBN....I'm working on your patterns... yesterday were size 22's and 20's of the slim shady variants... then the sexy walt jr's...tying mine with Alpaca,,,next will be the mole beauties...just can't get enough. thanks for sharing your secrets.

DUBBN,

I tied up some original Sexy Walts and one variation where I ran the mylar long over the bead. I then tied the normal body and used the working end of the tinsel and the tag to make some wing buds over the body.
I want to fish them together and see if the added bling makes a difference.
