50 Shades Of Hare's Ear: #29

50 Shades Of Hare's Ear


#29  Floss Body (Royal Coachman-ish)

Hook:  Hanak H450BL or choice, sizes 8-16 (size 10 pictured)
Bead:  3.5MM gold tungsten
Thread: UTC 70, tan
Tail:  Natural hare's ear underfur pulled from the cheek area on hare's mask.  Remove guard hairs. 
Rib:   Hends, gold 0.1MM, counterwrapped
Butt:  Small ball of natural hare's ear.  Pick out
Body:  Red floss.  Silk or nylon
Collar/Thorax:   Small amount of Sybai's Fine Flash, dark peacock brown followed by hare's ear in a dubbing loop.  Slightly pick out the Fine Flash

Notes:

(1)  Inspiration for this pattern comes from the Royal Coachman.   Instead of a short, narrow band of red floss  I have elected to tie it long for more visibility.
(2)  The tail may look extra thick however, it is merely underfur from the cheek and will thin out significantly when wet.  Excellent movement!
