Killing rabbits has become trendy in Brooklyn. Okay then, but what are they doing with the pelts?
As Matt Stansberry reminded me in his blog post about his pike ties on the vise, rabbit strip agrees with the Esox family.
We’ve got our own pike fishing trip coming up in May. While I’m more apt to fish a Puglisi pattern or an Eat-Me, I’ll always dedicate time working some dead rabbit. I’m haunted by the memories from Aught Two, when our man Crispin worked the vise one night, then used his white rabbit-strip creation to entice this 52″ muskie out from under a felled tree.
Damn I’d be down with some of that.
Niiiiiiice !!!!!!!!
I’ve been dispatching rabbits because they’ve been wreaking havoc on our landscaping. We’ve cooked them up (http://www.journalofamnangler.com/2010/03/12/braised-rabbit-recipe/), but I never thought to save the fur for homemade bucktails. BONUS!
Nice fly – I make those in griz. Looks like a mullet.
