You won’t find this in fly shops

You won’t find anything like this in fly shops. It’s a variation of my conehead bunnybou, the bass fly that catches channel cat. Notice the tail material is not a bunny strip. But what is it? Looks like squirrel tail only smaller. Give up? It’s a chipmunk tail. How do you get a chipmunk tail? You’ve gotta be very quick.

 

I think this will be a productive bass fly but of course the bass will have the final say.
