Fly of the Week

Bunny Booger

It's small. It's ugly. It's black.* It's easy to tie. It works great for reds, anytime, anywhere, and on lots of other things, too. It's the Bunny Booger.

*Of course you can make them in any color you wish. The fly in the photo is rust colored. It photographs better than does black!

Hook- Mustad 3407 #2

Thread- Danville flat waxed nylon, black.

Eyes- 1/50th ounce lead dumbell.

Weedguard- 15-20 pound test monofilament "V".

Tail- 1/2 to 1 inch long zonker strip cut from a rabbit skin.

Body- Zonker strip from a rabbit skin tied in at the bend of the hook and Palmered around the hook shank.

1. Start the thread, tie in the lead eye, wrap the thread back to the bend of the hook. Tie in the tail.

2. Tie in the zonker strip to be Palmered.

3. Wrap the thread up near the eye of the lead eye. Wrap the bunny strip up to the eye and tie it off..

4. Tie in the weedguard in front of the lead eyes. Trim as needed.

5. Whip and cement the head.

6. Repeat as needed!

Good luck!
