Crackin Beaut of a Dun, EH 🎉 🌟 🎣 💫

I have just received some Snowshoe hare from a Canadian friend so this excellent video will pave the way to some tying for my next trip to the Waioeka River down under in NZ. Regards.

Cute

A superb film. Deserves to be better known.

For the price , very good value!!

In my many, many years of tying with snowshoe, there are two types you will see on the mass market. I don’t know anything about rabbit breeds nor whether all the feet I’ve encountered over the years is because they vary in species or because they were harvested during different times of the year. But this is what I have: 1. Legit- the toenails are fine, usually dark brown or black and sharp-pointed. The fur is crinkly and mostly uniform from heel to toe (toe fur will be longer but usually close to the same thickness as the heel). Tannish/brown in color and opaque. Very dark grey underfur on the pad/heel section. These tend to be a little small in size compared to type #2. 2. What I call Jack Rabbit. Labeled as snowshoe rabbit/hare’s feet, these are what you commonly get when you order from a popular fly tying vendor. I strongly dislike using these because I just don’t think the fur is fuzzy, curly/crinkly nor fine enough to float nearly as well as the good stuff. There are several easy indicators. First, they are noticeably larger and more dense (heavier), the natural undyed fur is a solid, non-opaque cream color. The underfur is the same or similar color as the long, spiky guard hair fur. The dull-pointed nails are thick and opaque - almost sort of similar to a typical dog. The fur near and on the toe of these feet is very thick with zero underfur whereas the fur on the pads is soft and relatively straight. While both types work, I just find what I call the legit snowshoe to be so much better. I tend to like the dirtier brownish tan feet than the lighter, cream-colored feet.

Is it easy enough to change c clip for retrieve, im a lefty and pretty sure the one I've ordered is a left hand wind

Looks really good 👍

Cool!

A nice tie, but I'd move the hackle "head" back towards the hook end a bit. I hate to crowd the hook eye, and yes I tie a lot of Catskill style dry flies! 👍

Great material

wtf

Excellent demonstration and I like they way you explain the various materials. I know many of them but I love hearing more about them or aspects I don't know about. best wishes.

Hi, Nice master class! Where to buy the real snowshoe hares feet? Thanks!

Also works well as a mayfly imitation on certain lochs in Assynt!

Is there anywhere in the U.S. we can get this hook? If not is there anything equivalent? Thanks!

Nice looking nymph nice cullers in the dubbing

Nice fly👍🏻

nice fly

Why not do a 3 turn whip finish on the post itself? This is a KH pattern that I rely on to catch fish. Nice looking version.

Nice 👍

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing the dubbing blend details. I've been a fan of the magazine for a few years, now the KZbin channel. Cheers 👍😎

I like this variant. I normally tie mine with a wood duck flank feather for a wing, Very effective fly.

Hope to see more of these videos in future.

Nice wee fly👍🏻

Very nice, quirky looking fly. I am sure it is effective because it looks like something any self respecting trout or salmon would love to eat. : ) All the best, Sean

What size hook are you using? Thanks!
