Crazy good. What's the thorax, snowshoe?

If it is snowshoe rabbit dubbing, you should name this pattern "Thumper". I've got a good feeling about this fly. Nicely done Bill.. ;)

Thanks, guys. It is snowshoe hare foot underfur in a dropped loop brush.

That is super nice, Bill. It would absolutely slay on the Firehole in June in a Size #16.

Bill,

I think it would work for the White Miller hatch we fished on the Firehole but I would like to fish it trailing both of these for test purposes...

I think of the "jingler" as one more instar up on the Flymph "emerger" transformation before the winged adult fly. :geek:
Your white fly spider would have also been a killer in the Park.

That would make for a fantastic 3-fly cast, Bill, with the jingler as the top dropper to skitter on the surface ;) .

Dandy trio of flies! Makes me daydream of spending time on the Firehole.
