Red River Rabbit

Fly: Bill Willmert, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Mustad 9672 Size 6through 10
Thread: Black Uni-Thread 8/0
Tail: Olive Zonker Strip (The same piece as the tail, with many of the hair fibers pulled out exposing the hide, palmered up the hook shank.)
Collar: Rabbit Strip (Fur left on the hide, wrapped as a collar)
Head: Tying thread

Note: The entire fly is tied using a single rabbit fur strip. A Rabbit strip about 3” will be needed to tie a Number 8 fly.
