The Hunny Bunny

Post by Fontinalis » Thu Jun 03, 2010 8:57 pm

The Fly pictured is called the Hunny Bunny. This is my very first Soft Hackle/Flymph that I tied and caught multiple fish on this past weekend. The fly is a simple Hare's Ear Nymph that was modified:

Let me add an ooooooh in there too. I like that one a lot. Hare's mask and honey dun hen. Who'd a thunk it. Very nice Andy.

I really like the pattern Andy and the materials compliment each other well. Sounds like it really performed for you the other day. Thanks for posting the picture and sharing your new found interest in the wingless with us.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
