This fly mimics a staple food source in most water systems. It is simple but effective, and the bunny strips and rubber legs and a movement trigger that helps persuade fish. This is a productive fly for both smallmouth and largemouth bass. We prefer more natural tones, however, this pattern does work well with bright colors.
Hook: #8-1/o Streamer
Thread: 6/o UNI
Bead/Eyes: Large dumbbell eyes
Wire (Optional): Add in some lead-free wire right behind the eyes if you want a little extra weight.
Tail: Two strips of bunny zonker tied on their sides. Also, add in some longer strands of crystal flash or flashabou for antennae.
Legs: Standard rubber legs (I try to match them to the color of the rabbit.)
Body: Flash Chenille or Ice dub in similar tones to the rabbit. Then I fold over another rabbit strip just like you would a wing case on a trout fly.
