Bunnybou & Pheasant

[skiptomylu]

Just tied my first and just wanted something for the tail and I happen to have a bit of Silver Pheasant tail feathers so too a few barbules off it for the tail.

Sure beats the heck out of me Skip how you come up with these patterns. Kind of like a Hunters Jig (Rabbit and Pheasant) Very nice!!

Thanks Len. It helps when you have as much stuff as I have accumulated over about 4 1/2 years. I put almost all I take in back into materials. After all it's my hobby and now I have so much stuff I actually need to add another cabinet and can't seem to resist buying more and more. Just bought a bunch from Conranch, full bird medium barred ginger, Cape Lt. Ginger, and 3 Hens, Black, Brown and Chocolate Dunhe says like I have never seen.

In the back of my head I think that I may want a Cree full bird, but that's a big cost.

That bunnybou looks NICE! I bet it'll have some great movement in the water.

Skip you can really see the difference in the bunnybou and regular cross-cut. I looks a lot fluffier(sp?).

Thanks guys!

Yes different for sure, but you could do the same thing with a Zonker, but this stuff has no guard hairs so it's all fluff and silky feeling.

I see the bass bothering that one in an 1/8 or 1/4 size. Looks good to me.

[skiptomylu]

Skeet that is a 1/8 with a #6 regular bend hook. A few heads I had left after that guys order for the no tail hackle jigs.

Thanks,

Skip
