In this video Jay uses a jig style hook to add action to his streamer fly. The “Rabid Wabbit Shiner” is an excellent trout, bass and more fly pattern. This super durable fly uses natural and synthetic materials to attract fish from distance.

Some great ideas there! I am betting that a dark orange version, aka crawfish, would work in lakes. Happy Thanksgiving.
Nice pattern Jay. If tied in pink and purple this could be a good fly for silver salmon
Thank you Jim – of course I agree, and can’t wait to give it a try in 2018, plus hear your Alaska report! JN
Agreed, and stay tuned for just such a versio of the Rabid Wabbit! JN
