Didn’t want to take away from OK’s great nymph pattern, but was thinking that, although the rabbit/hare is no longer considered a rodent, like the squirrel, they both make good wet fly/nymph patterns.
This is a tad different from Whitlock’s great pattern. Used Whitlock’s SLF dubbing mix.
It sort of harkens back to Charlie Brooks’ method of tying nymph patterns “in the round” instead of having a distinct wing case. His theory was that the nymphs rolled over and over and thus, the legs were usually exposed…at least his rationale for not including a wing case.
