Dubbed Rabbit Leech
This is a super easy and quick small streamer to tie for filling your box. I would fish this a lot on the San Juan River during the time they would stock because those big brown trout would come out from the depths and start chasing these small fingerling. They are small enough to nymph, and move well enough to look like a fish fighting the current. You can also fish them like a small streamer and strip them in as well. They can be tied in any color you want, since rabbit strips come in many different colors. You can add flash as well. Add more or less weight, I mean these are very versatile and easy to tie.

Long story short

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
