Fur Fly (Tony Sloane variant) |
|
 |
|
| Hook: | medium-long shank wet fly hook |
| Thread: | Brown |
| Tail: | clump of fur or peacock herl |
| Body: | A strip of rabbit fur, or soft mobile fur of any kind, folded double over the hook shank and tied in at the head |
| Eyes (optional): | dumb-bell, epoxy, or jungle cock. The original had a head of peacock herl |
Note: the fur strip is not wound on to the shank, but folded over it lengthwise. This is a variation, among many, of Tony Sloane’s simple Rabbit Fur Fly. Sloane’s son Rob says the original, or his Modified Fur Fly, similar to the one described, is still the best. |
