All Bunny Fly
Unknown originator
This fly is successful when a sub surface pattern is required. The bead chain eyes give it a slow sink rate more or less suspending it in the water column. When the fly is twitched, the natural movement of the rabbit fur in the water is particularly effective for saratoga. The substitution of heavier barbell eyes makes it suitable for bass when using sinking lines in deeper water.
