I studied Jim Cannon's use of snowshoe hare and Richard Strolis's "shucked up emerger" stuff and created a BWO emerger pretty close to Strolis's with a few twists. I'm hoping this new fly in the box will bridge the cycle from the RS2 emerger (which is usually submerged for me) and the BWO duns. It's to be fished in the film and while I have CDC-based BWO emergers created last year, I'm needing one to get dry more quickly, hence the snowshoe hare. Ingredients... olive thread on Klinkhammer hook, 6-8 strands amber Z-Lon trailing shuck, olive goose biot abdomen, olive ostrich herl abdominal collar, partridge hen legs, aligned snowshoe hare foot "wing," olive BWO superfine dubbed thorax. I'm hoping there'll be a lot of swishy stuff (partridge legs and ostrich) hanging down in the water to be attractive. Again I goofed up the background.
