Default Red **** dab

Had a bit of rabbit (red) lying on the desk and thought it may give a little movement to some lough / reservoir flies I'm tying, but don't really know if it adds or subtracts to the fly?
Your thoughts please!

Nice fly,but maybe just a bit too much tail.

I think it is too thick also, maybe a 3rd or 4th of the fur used would be better, otherwise i like it.

MM, as i dont fish these wet fly thingys, i aint set too any type of pattern criteria. Personly i see it as a pulling fly or lure. So too me i like it, and can see lots of movement in it, but heck what do i know.

Hope youve had a good christmas

Never a bad thing to incorporate a trigger mechanism. That'll catch fish anywhere.
