it almost looks like cdc, could you point me to a place that carries the material?

[Betty Hiner]

The wing looks like cdc, but what's the head material? Can't say I've ever seen anything like it before.

I'd guess it's snowshoe hare's foot fur on a dubbing loop that has had a little trimming done to it. The wing does appear to be CDC. That's my guess, can't wait to find out as it's a very attractive looking fly.

ohhhh!!!!! i know what it is!!

yep, snowshoe rabbit in a loop for the head, CDC for the wing, and goose biot for the body!

i like the fly alot by the way

[Betty Hiner]

How'd you know that?!?

[flyandtie]

i look at tons of materials at the fly shop when i go.... and i have a pretty good memory

cool, what is the head made of?

The head/thorax is snow shoe bunny, looped dubbed. I like the fact there are only three components to this dry fly, like the cdc flav(may fly dun) and the October caddis, a biot ( or deer), cdc, and bunny.... easy, fast, and cheap
Snow shoe is close to indestructible so it make a good dry fly collar. The cdc is for wing veining, not much else. The bunny will float the thing . The biot, because the color is consistent when wet and the segmentation look is hard to beat.
