It's good to try new things.

I am the world worst to get into ruts. Especially with types of flies I make. As a members of a few groups and forums I get to see design for patterns from all around the world. That helps to keep new ideas coming. One example was for a weekly tying contest on a forum I a members of. The host posts a pattern and you tie your best effort. This weeks was a 'Redneck Rabbit'. I had heard of it but never given it a try.

My attempt. I tied four for my oven finickiness.



Today I decided I would try them out. Took them out to one of the big rivers around this afternoon after lunch. Swung them on a switch rod.

They work :)
