December Fly Tying Get Together

Our monthly fly tying meeting takes place at the Livermore Rod & Gun Club. This month's Get Together will feature rabbit as we will tie the buggy gold ribbed hare's ear. This is an old pattern of English origin, probably around the mid to late 1800s. It can imitate many bugs as mayfly nymphs, caddis, scuds, and small stoneflies.

Materials:

• Hook: Nymph 1xl or Tiemco 200, size 10-16
• Thread: to match body
• Tail: Hare's mask fibers
• Ribbing: Gold wire or gold oval tinsel
• Body: Rabbit dubbing, hare mask
• Wingcase: Dark turkey tail
• Thorax: Same as body

Bring what material you have and mooch what you don't have. Non-tyers are welcome too.

Contact Jim Broadbent if you have any questions.
