wanted: tips on tying the bunny streamer

[Greg]

I would sure appreciate it if at some point someone would post the recipe/tying tips for the bunny streamer. I've bought a few and like the pattern a lot. But whenever I try to tie one I somehow botch it up. I haven't had much luck finding it online either.

thanks,

Greg

I don't know exactly what bunny streamer you are referring to in your post but here is a pattern by Scott Sanchez that won the Jackson Hole One-Fly three years running, '92, '93 and '94......then it was outlawed...LOL

You could also try another pattern - the Pine Cone, named so for the pine squirrel and tungsten cone head - invented by none other than the infamous Joe Schmuecker of Wapsi Fly Inc.

This one is too easy. Slip the cone on.. tie on and advance thread to rear. Tie in a little dubbing just behind the cone, any color. Adjust tail to length.. using one single pine squirrel strip in desired color. Tie up the strip palmering it as you advance. Sort of work the strip into the cone, push it in a little... whip finish and add a drop of cement.

Fish this one for anything.. especially smallmouth! Cheers - Brian

The pine cone is an excellent pattern. I use it frequently and have several back-ups in the fly box. I've used mostly the natural color. It's great at Taney as well.

I guess I wasn't very clear. I was meaning the "bunny" fly pattern that is tied with strips of rabbit fur. A kind of a streamer.

That pine cone pattern looks similar though and looks like a great fly. I plan to give it a try.

thanks,
