Are you trimming the under side of the body?
Even though its not an original idea (@Kfish recently posted one and was inspired by @Stonedfish).
I'm going to use this excuse to buy some small boobies and try out some small baitfish/boobie flies to be fished on sink tips for smallies.

This one I did. I normally don't though.

Yes, I started the ‘Salon’ on WFF based on a similar activity on a photography community I frequented back in the day.
Super stoked for its rebirth here. Make me want to do some tying!

These two Gartside Softhackle variations were my best baitfish producers on bows and browns this summer here in SW Montana.
I was inspired to tie up some little redsides for a river better known for stoneflies and sculpin.
Size 6 Owner mosquito, rigged old school. I had the most viscous mid swing eats!

Since this slapped-together one was so successful last week on stillwater trout
I just tied up some variants to try
This is unweighted, fished on sinking or intermediate. The technique that worked best was trolling with twitches, or casting & stripping. Gave it a couple short, fast strips after the initial bump, which usually got it bumped harder, then a strip and slacked, whereupon it usually got eaten hard.

Mostly rabbit or?? I had multiple takes several times day before yesterday fishing a simiseal leech (intermediate line). I did manage to hook a couple of the fish that (I think) hit the fly a couple of times; they were smaller fish.... An exception to that has been Lahontans at Lenore. I like your technique of a strip and then slack.......for me, that's hard to do. I just want to keep stripping in.
Yep - bunny strip as the main component. They liked the pink & lavendar, so I figured they were nasty cannibals and added the olive.
I tried continued stripping, but they wouldn't chase it far. The fly made a funny little kick to the side when slacked that must look tasty!
Bentback baitfish
Nice! How's the hook up ratio with that VS conventional hook? Any differences?
