rabbit strip never hurt either. I like this pattern because it has rabbit, but to me looks a bit 'elevated' compared to most rabbit strip flies (again IMO). I think Ed Ward said something like 'Just super glue a rabbit strip to a hook and your done'.Black n blue: the bruise - one of my favorite upper Columbia steelhead flies/Pat

I posted these before. It’s a pattern I put together to resemble my impression of a juvenile whitefish, which often have an amber sort of sheen to them underwater. I don’t know that it’s anything special, really more of a “guide fly” but it works well enough I’ve decided it needs a name. I think I’m gonna call it the Bitey Whitey.
