Harefoot & Elk

Fly: Goran Grubic, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: dry fly # 14-10
Thread: 3/0 olive, black or brown
Body: dubbing brush made of hair from winter hare’s foot
Wing: elk hair

Note: Variations - can be tied with various body and wing colours. The fly may also be coloured with permanent marker pen.
Comment: originally tied with American snowshoe hare’s foot hair, but European hare’s hair is very similar and works as well. It is very durable and can be treated with liquid floatants.
