Swamp Rabbit

This tarpon fly pattern was designed by Bob Lemay to target backcountry tarpon. The fly is scaled down to a manageable 2/0 for the Florida everglades. In addition to being a good warm water fly, I'm planning on using this pattern to hunt a few bass and pike up north. You can tie this pattern in colors for targeting the species you are after. For tarpon, yellow/orange, black/red, chartreuse/white, brown/chinchilla, and black/blue. For pike and bass, I'll be tying the red/black, red/white, black/chartreuse, and a few other bright colors.

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.
