A very nice simple pattern. I have tied and used a pattern that looks very similar but instead of the snowshoe in from I have substituted CDC that I happened to have lots of at the time. I shall try the same tie with the snowshoe and I am sure they will get along famously in my boxes.
I tie a similar fly using goose biot for abdomen,wing of elk with an underwing of ice dubbing and form a head of elk clipped as on a muddler. will try cdc or rabbit as on the double wammy
I like it, its a simple pattern and I’m just
getting into using the Snowshoe rabbit material
Saw Dan Wight’s comment so it must be good
I like it.
Hans ties a lovely fly, i like to also add a little cdc into mine for that extra buoyancy
