Views from the Vice – Double Bunny Streamer

Much like the Meat Whistle posted earlier, I’ve been trying to go a lot bigger with my streamer presentations to entice all the trophy wild brown trout Papa Bear has on his property. One very popular trend I see a lot of these days is the Double Bunny streamer, which is two pieces of rabbit strip, usually Olive and White, tied together on a weighted hook to provide the ultimate action and undulation as soon as the fly hits the water.

I’ve tied several variations of this pattern up recently, not only for trout but for Smallmouth and Striped Bass and here in my local waters. And this pattern shown above is actually a slight departure from the straight Double Bunny, or for that matter Kelly Galloup’s Barely Legal streamer which uses Marabou instead of rabbit strips. I’ve added in some golden flash dub, rainbow tinsel, and some marabou around the collar. Without a doubt I have high expectations for this pattern.
